Skyhook Solar, a trailblazer in mobile solar technology, has been named a 2025 Colorado Companies to Watch award winner. The award recognizes the Grand Junction company’s innovation, growth and impact as a second-stage business transforming clean-energy deployment, the Grand Junction Economic Partnership said in a news release.

Manufacturers of transportable, industrial-grade solar generators, Skyhook Solar’s core technology provides clean energy to power electric vehicles, micromobility, internet access, lighting and emergency services.

“This award reflects the dedication of our team and the strength of our vision to make clean energy more accessible, flexible and scalable for communities everywhere,” said Daniel Delano, president and CEO of Skyhook Solar. “We’re proud to be a Colorado-based company, in a state that continues to prove it can lead the way in energy innovation.”

Skyhook Solar’s technology has made an impact nationwide and internationally. During its research and development phase, Skyhook Solar deployed 25 prototypes in a public-facing pilot program in the United States and Canada and placed five additional units in Europe. Skyhook has deployed solar stations with WE-cycle in Aspen, Bcycle in Boulder and with Lyft Urban Solutions in Chicago and Washington, D.C., for e-bike charging. Skyhook has partnered with Wallbox, SWTCH Energy and LG Electronics to charge EVs in Colorado.

In 2023, the company was accepted into Colorado’s Rural Jump-Start Program with support from the Grand Junction Economic Partnership. Skyhook commenced commercial production in the fourth quarter of 2024, officially establishing Grand Junction as its new headquarters. The company expects to create at least 38 new primary jobs within the next four years.

“Since relocating to Grand Junction, we’ve had the pleasure of watching Skyhook Solar grow into a fast-scaling company with international reach. Their success reflects the potential of our region to support high-impact industries and proves that big ideas can thrive in Western Colorado,” said Curtis Englehart, executive director of GJEP.

Since 2009, Colorado Companies to Watch has honored the critical, yet often overlooked, second-stage companies from across the state for their undeniable impact on Colorado’s communities.
