HOUSTON, Texas (August 9, 2024) – PCL Construction has been named a 2024 Top Solar Contractor by Solar Power World for the second consecutive year, ranking in the list’s top 10%. This recognition ranks applicants according to the number of megawatts they installed in 2023.
“We are honored to be recognized as a top solar contractor for another year despite industry challenges, including major net-metering changes and higher interest rates. This accolade highlights our team's expertise in delivering predictable and reliable utility-scale engineering, procurement, and construction solar solutions nationwide,” said Andrew Moles, general manager of PCL’s solar division.
PCL is managing solar projects ranging from 40-500+ megawatt alternating current (MWac) in various stages of development across the U.S., including in Washington, Texas and Ohio.
Notable projects include:
- Great Bend: 48-megawatt alternating current (MWac) turn-key solar solution in Meigs County, Ohio.

- Goose Prairie: 80-megawatt alternating current (MWac) solar photovoltaic project located in Yakima County, Washington.
- Peacock: 150-megawatt alternating current (MWac) photovoltaic power station located in San Patricio County, Texas.

“Building on the success of our diverse portfolio, PCL continues to leverage its in-house engineering team to enhance operational efficiencies and predictability, reduce land usage, and maximize investment returns. Additionally, our strong bankability and resources across North America provide the financial stability needed for project financing,” said Mike Campolieti, director, business development, for PCL’s solar division.
As PCL continues to push the boundaries of innovation and sustainability, the industry at large is also evolving, with solar projects expanding in scale and complexity across various markets.
“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.”
