(KNSI) — Avon-based Blattner Company has been named one of the top solar contractors in the country.

Industry magazine Solar Power World which does the rankings placed Blattner Company at number two out of 411 companies on the list for 2022. According to a press release, Solar Power World compiles the list of top solar contractors yearly. Solar firms in the utility, commercial and residential markets are ranked by kilowatts installed in the previous year. Companies are grouped and listed by specific services, markets, and states.

“It’s always exciting to be recognized by Solar Power World as a Top Solar Contractor,” Blattner’s Vice President of Business Development Matt Dankers said. “To achieve this honor, it starts with the hard work of our team members in the field and those directly supporting their daily efforts in the corporate office. They are passionate and work tirelessly to deliver for our customers. We also want to recognize our industry partners for their patience and resilience in the past year. Our customers and industry partners help bring utility-scale solar and storage projects to life.”

“We are humbled and honored to be recognized as a top solar contractor by Solar Power World, and we congratulate all the other top contractors who made the list this year,” Blattner Vice President of Solar Construction Nik Maeder said. “The industry is on the verge of monumental growth. We thank our clients for partnering with us, and we applaud their resilience during this challenging year. We are so proud of all the men and women at Blattner who are part of this important industry that provides clean, safe, reliable energy for our future. We’re building a strong solar industry to power the United States while building a more sustainable future.”

“Blattner is a big presence every year on the Top Solar Contractors list and within the solar industry in general,” said Kelly Pickerel, Solar Power World editor-in-chief. “Consistently installing over one gigawatts of utility-scale solar each year, Blattner plays a significant role in greening our grid. The company also employs thousands in the clean energy sector and is investing in diversity and inclusion to ensure more Americans have an opportunity to build renewable energy projects that will impact the lives of future generations.”
