Chaberton Energy, a distributed energy developer with a particular focus on community solar, has been named to the Inc. Best in Business list for the first time. Inc.’s annual Best in Business Awards celebrate the exceptional achievements and contributions of companies that have made a profound impact on their industries and on society at large.
Chaberton Energy was named to the 2024 list as one of just four companies in the Environmental Issues category for its work in helping to modernize the U.S. electrical grid and make the clean energy transition accessible to more Americans. This involves siting and designing distributed energy projects, work that requires substantial and authentic community engagement to succeed.
“Our projects provide economic opportunities for communities, while supplying clean energy to residents,” said Chaberton CEO and Founder Stefano Ratti. “Our team threads our company values of creativity, excellence and humanity throughout every part of their work, and it’s become an important differentiator for us. These values lead to high-quality projects and stakeholders who feel heard.”
In January 2024, Chaberton Energy announced it had 100 projects under site control in the four years since its founding. Now, less than a year later, that number has grown another 30% to more than 130 projects, representing 700 megawatts under active development.
Inc.’s Best in Business list recognizes companies that, through exceptional execution, have achieved significant milestones and core business wins. In 2024, just 241 companies and 16 business leaders earned this honor. Inc. editors and reporters personally review every application and select Best in Business honorees that had an outstanding influence on their communities, their industries, the environment or society as a whole.
