Ethical Energy Solar is a locally owned Pennsylvania solar company headquartered in York with a second office in Pittsburgh. The company said its growth has come from a consultative, education-first process that walks every family through four steps: Discovery, Design, Solar Installation, and Start Saving, with no pressure at any stage.

"Making the Inc. 5000 is a milestone for our whole team, but the number we care about most is the number of families who picked up the phone and felt like they got straight answers," said Cam Pinkas at Ethical Energy Solar. "We grew by explaining the parts of solar other companies skip, like how financing works, what happens when you sell your home, and what your savings realistically look like. That approach is the reason we exist."

Ethical Energy is a Silfab Solar Registered Installer and installs Tesla Powerwall battery storage for homeowners who want backup power during outages. The company also offers combined solar and roofing projects. Most homeowners qualify for residential solar installation in Pennsylvania with $0 upfront cost through a solar lease or power purchase agreement, subject to qualification and credit approval.
