Each business is scored on signals we can verify from public data: a live, secure (HTTPS) website, mobile-friendliness, a published phone number and website, and fit with the solar installers category. We do not collect or display customer reviews, and we do not accept payment for placement. Businesses can claim their listing to correct contact details, but the rank is fixed by the data. Owners can claim a listing for a Verified badge and a direct link; sponsors appear only in labeled blocks outside the numbered list. Neither changes rank.
None of the 2 solar installers on this page are listed under Akron itself; all of them serve Akron from Canton, where they are based.
Nearby directories for the same trade: Canton (2 ranked), Cleveland (3 ranked), Youngstown (2 ranked).
Each listing is scored on public signals we can check ourselves: whether the website is live and secure (HTTPS), whether it works on a phone, whether a phone number and website are published, and how closely the business matches the solar installers category. We do not collect customer reviews, so no star ratings or review counts appear here, and no business pays for placement.
Use this list to shortlist two or three solar installers, then read their Google reviews yourself, confirm license and insurance, and get written estimates before committing. The score here is a filter, not a verdict.
Licensing in Ohio runs through the Ohio Construction Industry Licensing Board (OCILB) for electrical, HVAC, plumbing, hydronics and refrigeration contractors; Ohio issues no statewide general-contractor license. Before hiring anyone in Akron, verify trade licenses in Ohio's eLicense lookup, and for general contractors and remodelers check your city or county's contractor registration, since Ohio licenses them locally. Also confirm current liability insurance, and get the license number in writing on the estimate.
This page lists McGlinch & Sons Co. and Summit Solar, in ranked order. 1 of the 2 publish a phone number, so you can call those directly; the rest are easiest to reach through their websites.
