MC Power Companies named a 2026 Top Solar Contractor
With 2026 proving to be a milestone year for many in the United States, Solar Power World has released the 15th anniversary edition of the solar industry’s most recognized grouping of solar and energy storage installation companies. The 2026 Top Solar Contractors List was unveiled today, and MC Power Companies is one of the featured companies on the special list.
The United States recently surpassed 6 million individual solar installations and solar is regularly the most-installed source of new electricity in the country, proving that solar professionals are veteran members of the energy industry. That experience is reflected in the 2026 Top Solar Contractors List, with over 72% of listees having at least 10 years’ experience in solar — 58% have more than 15 years’ experience in solar, storage and energy construction. MC Power has been installing solar locally for 16 years.
“Despite policy and supply hurdles, the U.S. solar market shows no signs of slowing down,” said Billy Ludt, managing editor of Solar Power World. “Well-run companies are those that can adapt to a changing industry, and we believe the 2026 Top Solar Contractors List features the strongest names in solar development, construction and installation.”
While the Top 5 states for installations in 2026 matched last year (California, Illinois, Texas, New York, Pennsylvania), less recognized states made big gains. Maryland, Ohio and Wisconsin were particularly active markets for Top Solar Contractors in both the large-scale and residential sectors.
Headquartered in Lee’s Summit, Missouri, MC Power designs and builds solar, electrical and battery storage systems nationwide. The company serves commercial and industrial, municipal and utility-scale, educational, agricultural and residential customers. Solar Power World lists MC Power as a commercial and industrial EPC, with its reported 2025 installations spanning Missouri, Oklahoma and Kansas.
Small-scale contractors bucked national assumptions by increasing their presence on the Top Solar Contractors List, with more listees performing work in the residential market than any previous year. The “installer” service category distinction grew 10% from last year, as the 2026 Top Solar Contractors class completed more installations in the non-utility market.
The Top Solar Contractors List is the most recognized annual listing of solar contractors in the United States. Companies on the Top Solar Contractors List are grouped and listed by specific service, market and states by 2025 installed capacity (in kWDC).
MC Power employs 30 workers who installed 272.30 kW DC of solar power in 2025. The company is a trusted solar and electrical contractor specializing in efficient and sustainable solutions. Committed to integrity and customer satisfaction, we combine cutting-edge technology and expert craftsmanship to set industry standards, empowering organizations nationwide to achieve their energy goals with reliability, innovation, and cost-effectiveness.
“Being named a 2026 Top Solar Contractor reflects the expertise, adaptability and dedication our team brings to every project,” said Brian Barton, CEO of MC Power Companies. “As energy needs continue to grow and the market evolves, we remain focused on delivering dependable solar, storage and electrical solutions that help our customers manage costs, strengthen resilience and achieve their long-term energy goals.”
