Inc. magazine named CalCom Solar to its prestigious list of the fastest-growing private companies in the country, the Inc. 5000. For the second year in a row, CalCom reached the top tier of the list, ranking #23 in 2017, with a staggering three-year growth rate of 9,000%.

CalCom Solar is a Visalia, CA-based solar project developer and energy services company focused on agriculture and water customers. Founded in California’s Central Valley, CalCom designs, engineers and installs solar and energy storage that offset rising electricity costs while helping customers reduce operational expenses, improve their bottom line, and farm more sustainably. CalCom has developed 100+MW of solar to date, including some of the largest agricultural solar farms in the West.

CalCom joins other notable Inc. 5000 alumni such as Microsoft, Dell, Domino’s Pizza, Pandora, Timberland, LinkedIn, Yelp, Zillow and many other well-known names who gained their first national exposure as honorees.

“Achieving this honor for the second year running demonstrates that sustainability and business can go hand-in-hand in a progressively brighter future,” said Dylan Dupre, CEO of CalCom Solar. “We take a very strategic approach to developing some of the largest solar farms in the agricultural and water management industries. We are proud to have saved our customers millions of dollars while helping them operate more sustainably.”

CalCom also ranked #3 in the Energy segment of the Inc. 500, a subset of the Inc. 5000 list. The company’s growth rate outpaces the 481 percent average growth rate of companies on the 2017 Inc. 5000.

“The Inc. 5000 is the most persuasive evidence I know that the American Dream is still alive,” says Inc. President and Editor-In-Chief Eric Schurenberg. “The founders and CEOs of the Inc. 5000 tell us they think determination, risk taking, and vision were the keys to their success, and I believe them.”
