Tick Tock Energy Named Top Solar Contractor in US for Tenth Consecutive Year

Effingham, IL – Local solar installer, Tick Tock Energy, is proud to be named a top U.S. solar contractor for the 10th year in row.

The Top Solar Contractors List is developed each year by industry magazine Solar Power World to honor the work of solar installers in the United States. Solar firms in the utility, commercial and residential markets are ranked by the number of kilowatts they installed in the previous year. Companies are grouped and listed by specific services, markets and states. Ranked #310 out of over 10,000 solar contractors in the nation, Tick Tock Energy energized 1,407 kilowatts (kW) of solar installations in homes, farms, businesses, and non-profit facilities in 2023.

Celebrating 18 years in business, Tick Tock Energy is central Illinois’ longest-established solar installer, a true pioneer in the solar energy industry. Competition can be fierce in Illinois, the 5th largest state for solar installation (behind California, Texas, New York and Florida), but Tick Tock Energy’s longevity is due in large part to serving residential, farm and commercial customers with a consistent focus on customer issues, making quality personal.

The demand for solar energy continues to rise. Since early 2023, Tick Tock Energy has observed a significant increase in interest for commercial, agricultural, and farm installations.

“Solar projects in every market — residential to utility-scale — are getting bigger and oftentimes more complicated in scope, financing and permitting. That’s why it’s all the more impressive when so many top installation companies have banner years,” said Kelly Pickerel, editor in chief of Solar Power World. “The Top Solar Contractors List is a great gauge for how strong individual companies are in their local markets.”

Solar’s benefits are a much-needed relief to rising electricity bills. In 2023, local electricity rates continued to rise rapidly, particularly for Ameren customers. In fact, the electricity market has faced some volatility, as the state of Illinois continues to set lofty goals for phasing out fossil fuels. These policies, while admirable for environmental reasons, also cause supply constraints. Customers face the brunt of these changes via higher electrical bills, and need to be aware that energy policies will continue to cause price volatility in the future. In many cases, high energy prices, combined with current inflation, have put a squeeze on both families and businesses.
