Why it matters: - The recognition puts Obodo Energy Partners on a national list that tracks the most established solar contractors in the United States. - The honor signals growing demand for the kind of solar, storage and electrical infrastructure services Obodo Energy Partners sells to businesses, institutions and public entities. - Arizona’s rapid growth is increasing pressure on energy systems, especially as manufacturers and data centers expand.
