Millville, New Jersey, September 10, 2025— The renewable energy industry is entering a tumultuous time, with deep federal cuts to programs that stoked astronomical growth over the past four years. Still, the solar industry broke record after record in 2024, the largest single year of new capacity added to the grid by any energy technology in over two decades. Equinox Renewable Energy, LLC is one of the companies that contributed to the milestone installation year and is recognized as a 2025 Top Solar Contractor by Solar Power World.
The Top Solar Contractors List is the most recognized annual listing of solar contractors in the United States. It is compiled annually by industry magazine Solar Power World to recognize the work of solar installers to decarbonize the grid and support home-grown, local energy. Companies on the Top Solar Contractors List are grouped and listed by specific service and state by 2024 installed capacity. Equinox Renewable Energy, a Millville based company, is ranked at No. 367 in the nation, and No. 5 in New Jersey Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) companies who serve the commercial and industrial markets.
“From the smallest residential projects to the largest utility-scale solar farms, these installations are keeping the lights on and keeping power affordable. We’re thrilled to recognize another outstanding class of Top Solar Contractors, and look forward to persevering through legislative hurdles to celebrate our 15-year edition next year.” said Kelsey Misbrener, managing editor of Solar Power World.
The country installed nearly 50 GW of new solar capacity in 2024, with solar and storage accounting for 84% of all new electric generating capacity added to the grid. Companies on the Top Solar Contractors List are undoubtedly preparing for a tough hill on the solar coaster, but the need for quick buildout of new energy resources is only going to grow. “At Equinox, we understand the opportunities in the commercial solar industry are still strong. The New Jersey clean energy program offers monthly payments for the solar power generated over a fifteen-year period, making commercial solar projects highly attractive while contributing to environmental sustainability. In New Jersey, where commercial and industrial electricity rates are in the top 10 of the national ranking, saving money in electric bills is critical.”
Equinox Renewable Energy, LLC’s skilled manpower and engineers installed 781 kW of solar power in 2024. Since its founding in 2022 the company has installed 1.4 MW of commercial solar. This southern New Jersey company develops, designs, and builds solar and energy storage projects for the non-residential market. From small businesses to large corporations, including nonprofits and public facilities, Equinox leverages its partnerships within the solar industry network to achieve its client’s sustainability goals and reduce operational costs. “Solar Power World is a reference in the renewable energy industry. We are proud to be part of the Top Solar Contractors List,” says Julian Rossini, Equinox Principal and founder.
