We are incredibly proud and pleased to announce that GreenSpark Solar has earned the No. 1 spot on this year’s Top 100 list of fastest-growing companies in the area. To be eligible for the Greater Rochester Chamber Top 100 program, companies must be privately owned, headquartered in the nine-county Rochester region, and have earned at least $1 million in revenue in the three most recent fiscal years. 

We are excited about the opportunity to showcase our company to the Rochester business community because, as our CEO and Co-Founder Kevin Schulte says, “Our mission is to slow the role of climate change by acting and helping others act here at home in Rochester.”

GreenSpark’s continued growth results from a vast increase in megawatts (MW) of solar energy on the NY State grid, combining residential and commercial installations.  GreenSpark has increased its installed capacity from 15 MW annually in 2018 to over 200 MW in 2023. 

The company’s success stems from its passionate and experienced team, as well as the creation of mutually beneficial partnerships for over 21 years. GreenSpark is a fully independent B Corp with a mission to provide diverse renewable energy solutions that produce meaningful cost savings, local economic benefits, and a better balance with our planet for homeowners, business owners, community partners, and more.

“So both as an employer and a clean energy company, we sit at the precipice of the economic revitalization measured in the tens of trillions of dollars. This opportunity will require training, hiring, and deployment of more than 5 million new workers, from engineers to electricians from marketing and sales… as the investments are made and the people are trained in a diverse and equitable act. We have determined that no place is better in Rochester, New York, to do both of those things,” said Schulte. 

Congratulations to all the nominated companies on the Top 100 list! Here’s to the future of combating climate change and producing energy together.  The complete 2023 Rochester Chamber Top 100 list can be viewed here.
