Detailed Profile

Sunlight Contractors has been a fixture in the New Orleans solar market for 17 years, making them one of the longest-tenured solar companies in Louisiana. Based in the Crescent City, they have built their business in a region where extreme weather, including hurricanes and tropical storms, tests every installation they complete. That pressure has produced a company that takes mounting systems and structural engineering more seriously than most.

What earned Sunlight Contractors the top ranking in Louisiana was their spotless customer record. A perfect 5.0-star Google rating across 602 reviews is remarkable for any company, but especially for one operating in an environment where severe weather can expose installation weaknesses that would never surface in calmer climates. The fact that their customers remain satisfied after storms and hot, humid summers speaks directly to the durability of their work.

The company is NABCEP certified and has invested in understanding the specific challenges of Louisiana's Gulf Coast climate, including salt air exposure, high humidity effects on electrical connections, and the wind uplift calculations required in hurricane zones. Their systems are designed to meet or exceed local building codes, which in New Orleans can be more demanding than in other parts of the state.

Sunlight Contractors also differentiates themselves through their community involvement in the New Orleans area. They have participated in solar installation programs for low-income housing and have been vocal advocates for expanding solar access across Louisiana.

With a composite score of 74.5, Sunlight Contractors is our top-ranked solar company in Louisiana for 2026.
