Both companies are led by Founder and CEO Ardi Arian and are headquartered in Santa Clara, California. The Top Solar Contractors List is the most recognized annual listing of solar contractors in the United States. Companies on the list are grouped and ranked by specific service, market and state based on 2025 installed capacity (in kW DC).

2025 HIGHLIGHTS -- RENEWABLE AMERICA (DEVELOPER)

Renewable America has installed 22.6 MW of solar power since its inception, including these notable projects in 2025:

● Foster Clean Power A and B (4.46 MWdc and 4.95 MWdc) in Humboldt County — California's North Coast's largest new-build community solar and storage project, featuring 10.4 MWh of battery storage under a PPA with Redwood Coast Energy Authority.
● Dos Palos Clean Power (4.29 MWdc) in Merced County, delivering renewable energy and bill discounts of up to 20% to 2,600 income-qualified WestLight Energy customers.
● Ranch Sereno Clean Power (2.59 MWdc) in Contra Costa County, which achieved Full Notice to Proceed in August 2025.
● Three commercial projects for Pearl Crop, a family-run nut processing business in San Joaquin County. The Stockton facility alone projected to meet 86% of Pearl Crop's energy needs and deliver an estimated $230,000 in annual utility cost savings.

2025 HIGHLIGHTS — RENEWABLE AMERICA SERVICES (EPC)

Renewable America Services, a California-licensed contractor (CSLB License #1096030, General B and C-10) has completed more than 20 MW of solar and 10 MWh of energy storage since its inception, including 15.4 MW installed in 2025. Notable 2025 projects include:

● Dos Palos Clean Power in Merced County which came online after overcoming three consecutive Conditional Use Permit appeals before construction could begin.
● Three commercial rooftop solar PV installations for Pearl Crop in San Joaquin County, engineered across more than 251,000 square feet of active industrial rooftop without complete as-built drawings, requiring custom structural assessments developed in the field with the project's structural engineering team.
