We’re excited to share some big news: Sonne Energy Solutions has been named a 2025 Top Solar Contractor by Solar Power World! This is our third year in a row receiving this national recognition, and we couldn’t be more grateful—for our team, our partners, and especially our customers.
Being part of this list means we’re doing more than just installing panels—we’re helping build a more sustainable, energy-independent future for Illinois. And we’re proud to be doing it as a small, locally owned company right here in Teutopolis.
⚡ What Does “Top Solar Contractor” Mean?
Each year, Solar Power World recognizes solar companies across the U.S. that make a real impact—installing clean energy systems, reducing emissions, and supporting local jobs and economies.
Even in a year of uncertainty for the industry, 2024 saw record-breaking growth, and we’re proud that Sonne Energy played a role in that progress.
Since our founding in 2019, we’ve installed more than 1 megawatt (1,000 kW) of solar across Effingham County and the surrounding area. That’s enough to power approximately 180 homes every year!
