Short answer: below are 205 solar company names in 6 styles, from plain and local to short and brandable. We checked every one against the 4,135 US solar companies listed in our Find A Contractor directory, and none of them matches a real one. Use the list for ideas, then check your favorite with your state, the trademark office and Google before you print anything.
Key takeaways
- Name lists online repeat real companies. 16 of the 53 names in the old version of this page, and 5 of the 58 names Google’s AI answer suggested, already belong to a US solar company.
- None of the 205 names below matches any of the 4,135 US solar companies in our directory.
- Real solar companies keep it plain: 54.8% have “solar” in the name, 19.6% “energy,” and the average name is under 3 words.
- Only 4.6% put their city in the name, so a local name still stands out.
- A good name says what you do, is easy to say on the phone, and isn’t close to a national brand like Tesla, Sunrun or SunPower.
How we checked these names
Our Find A Contractor directory lists 4,225 solar companies, 4,135 of them in the US, mostly from public sources. On November 13, 2026, we compared every name on this page with all 4,135 US listings. A name counted as taken if it matched a real company exactly, if a real company’s name started with it, or if the two shared the same distinctive words once common words like “solar,” “energy,” “power” and “solutions” were set aside.
We ran the same check on the old version of this page and on the names Google’s AI answer suggested for “solar company name ideas” that day.
Our directory doesn’t hold every solar company in the country, so passing our check doesn’t mean a name is free. It means it’s worth checking further. The steps for that are further down.
What real solar companies are called
Before picking a style, it helps to see what homeowners already see. These are the words that show up most in the 4,135 US solar company names in our directory.
| What we counted | Solar companies | Share |
|---|---|---|
| “Solar” in the name | 2,267 | 54.8% |
| “Solar” as the last word (like “Smith Solar”) | 1,130 | 27.3% |
| “Solar” as the first word (like “Solar Smith”) | 363 | 8.8% |
| “Energy” in the name | 810 | 19.6% |
| LLC, Inc, Corp or Ltd in the name | 769 | 18.6% |
| The full city name in the name | 189 | 4.6% |
| One-word names | 226 | 5.5% |
| Two- or three-word names | 3,378 | 81.7% |
Two things stand out. Most solar companies put “solar” at the end, after a word of their own, which is the pattern most of our names follow. And very few use their city, so a place name or a local landmark is still an easy way to sound different from the companies around you.
How to choose a solar company name
- Say what you do. A homeowner should know from the name, or the name plus your sign, that you install solar. If your name doesn’t say solar, your logo line and Google Business Profile category have to.
- Make it easy to say and spell. Your name gets read out on the phone, typed into Google and painted on trucks. Short, plain words beat clever spellings.
- Leave room to grow. If you’ll add batteries, EV chargers or roofing later, “Solar and Storage” or “Energy” keeps the door open.
- Stay clear of national brands. Names close to Tesla, Sunrun, SunPower, Sunnova or Freedom Forever confuse buyers and invite a trademark letter.
- Don’t stuff keywords into your Google listing. Google wants your Business Profile name to match the name on your sign and paperwork. Adding “Best Solar Installer Phoenix” to it can get the listing suspended. See Google’s guidelines for business names.

Check a name before you register it
We drafted 205 names and 9 of them turned out to be in use already, such as Sunwell and Sundial Co. We replaced those. A name that passes our check can still be taken somewhere we don’t list, so run these checks on your favorite:
- Our directory: search the name in the Find A Contractor directory to see if a solar company or another contractor already uses it.
- Your state: search your state’s business registry, usually run by the Secretary of State.
- Trademarks: search the USPTO trademark database for the name and close spellings.
- Google: search the name plus “solar” and look at the map results in your area.
- Domain and social: check that the .com, or a short version of it, is free, along with the main social handles.
The SBA’s guide to choosing a business name covers registering it once you’ve decided.
After the name: getting found
A good name helps, but solar buyers find installers on Google, mostly in the map results. Our free solar Local SEO playbook walks through how installers get into those results. When you’re ready for a website, see how we approach solar website design, and see what fast solar websites have in common in our tests of 20 solar websites.

Frequently asked questions
What is a good name for a solar company?
A good solar company name says what you do, is easy to say on the phone, and isn’t already used by another company or close to a national brand. Most real solar companies use two or three words with “solar” at the end, like a place or a word of their own followed by “Solar.”
Should a solar company name include the word solar?
It usually helps. In our directory, 54.8% of 4,135 US solar companies have “solar” in their name and 19.6% have “energy.” If you pick a name without either, add a tagline and set your Google Business Profile category so buyers know you install solar.
Should I put my city in my solar company name?
It can make you sound local and is easy to remember, and only 4.6% of the solar companies in our directory do it. The downside is that it can feel limiting if you expand to other cities later, so a regional word or landmark is a good middle ground.
How do I check if a solar company name is taken?
Search your state’s business registry, the USPTO trademark database, Google and our Find A Contractor directory, then check that the domain and social handles are free. Do this before you register the business or order signs.
Can I add keywords to my solar company’s Google Business Profile name?
No. Google asks that your Business Profile name match your real business name as it appears on your sign and paperwork. Adding extra words like a city or “best solar installer” can get the listing suspended.
