Sunspear Energy Named No. 905 on the 2026 Inc. 5000 List, Ranking No. 2 Among Hawaii Companies

Hawaii-based solar and battery storage company recognized for 384% three-year revenue growth and third consecutive appearance on the renowned Inc. 5000 list.

HONOLULU, HI, UNITED STATES, September 1, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Sunspear Energy today announced that it has been named in the 2026 Inc. 5000 list of the fastest-growing private companies in America, ranking No. 905 nationally and No. 2 in Hawaii. This marks the company’s third consecutive year on this list, recognizing Sunspear’s continued growth as a locally owned and operated leader in solar and battery storage.

Sunspear achieved 384% three-year revenue growth, placing the company among the nation’s most successful independent businesses. The Inc. 5000 recognizes companies that have demonstrated exceptional growth while creating jobs, driving innovation, and contributing to the U.S. economy. Past Inc. 5000 honorees include Microsoft, Meta, Chobani, Oracle, and Patagonia.

“Being named to the Inc. 5000 for the third consecutive year is an incredible honor, and being recognized as the No. 2 fastest-growing company in Hawaii makes it especially meaningful to our entire team,” said Jeff Kaemmerlen, CEO of Sunspear Energy. “What makes me most proud, however, is what went into earning it. The past few years have brought dramatic and unexpected changes to solar policy, incentives, and market conditions for both residential and commercial projects in Hawaii. Through all of that uncertainty, our team continued to adapt, serve our customers, invest in our people, and grow the business. We’ve expanded not only our revenue, but also our team and our capabilities. This recognition belongs to every employee who has worked incredibly hard to build Sunspear into the company it is today, and to the customers and partners who have trusted us along the way.”

Sunspear’s growth comes during a period of significant change for Hawaii’s renewable energy industry. Changes to state and federal solar policies, incentives, utility programs, and the economics of residential and commercial solar have required solar companies and customers alike to continually adapt. Despite these challenges, Sunspear has continued to expand its solar and battery storage capabilities while growing its workforce and serving homeowners, businesses, nonprofits, and other organizations across Hawaii.

“This year’s Inc. 5000 recognizes a new class of companies redefining what growth looks like,” said Inc. The 2026 honorees represent industries ranging from technology and advanced manufacturing to healthcare, renewable energy, consumer products, and professional services. Collectively, the companies on this year’s list added more than 627,208 jobs to the U.S. economy over the past three years, with a median three-year revenue growth rate of 130%.

For Sunspear, the recognition represents more than a revenue milestone. It reflects the company’s continued investment in its employees, customers, technology, and long-term commitment to Hawaii’s clean energy future.
