Citadel Roofing & Solar Named California’s Top Solar + Storage Installer for Residential and Commercial Markets 

VACAVILLE, CA – July 23, 2024 Citadel Roofing & Solar has been recognized as the top Solar + Storage installer in California’s residential and commercial market for 2024, achieving multiple top positions on the national stage, according to the 2024 Top Solar Contractors List released today by Solar Power World. 

Solar Power World's annual Top Solar Contractors List honors solar installers nationwide. This year, Citadel Roofing & Solar secured the #1 spot as the top Solar + Storage installer in California's commercial and residential market and ranked #4 nationwide. Additionally, Citadel climbed to #8 among the largest residential solar installers in the nation, up from #9 last year, underscoring their commitment to exceptional customer service and quality. 

“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.”
