"The annual Top 500 List is an industry marker of success, and we are pleased to rank among the leaders in the industry," said Matthew Skidmore, CEO of Conti Solar. "As a national, full service EPC, we plan to continue expanding our team to better serve those customers who are developing projects across the country and seeking top tier engineering and project execution services."

Conti Solars high repeat customer rate (over 40% of their clientele) speaks to the companys deep industry expertise and financial resources to build large-scale solar nationally. The company has installed over 500 megawatts of solar projects in various utility-scale market segments including community solar, commercial, industrial, landfill solar, and agricultural projects. According to GTM Research, the utility-scale solar market is projected to remain consistent throughout 2018 and will more than double in the next five years.* This solar boom has also created over 200,000 jobs for Americans - a number expected to double in the next three years as U.S. solar capacity triples.
