SolarTech is proud to share that our marketing team was honored with a 2026 Sandie Award from the American Marketing Association San Diego in the SEO/SEM category.
The Sandie Awards recognize some of the most skillful and impactful marketing work in the San Diego region. This year’s competition was the most competitive in the program’s history, with a record-breaking 154 submissions across 14 categories. More than 250 marketing professionals, agency leaders, and students gathered at the Town & Country Resort on May 21 to celebrate standout campaigns, projects, and teams from across the region.
For SolarTech, this award represents more than a category win. It reflects the strategy, creativity, collaboration, and consistency behind our organic growth and digital performance over the past year.
Our winning SEO/SEM work focused on strengthening SolarTech’s organic visibility, improving website performance, developing valuable content, and building a stronger digital presence in a highly competitive solar market. Through a combination of technical SEO, content strategy, and digital PR, our team worked to turn momentum into measurable results while continuing to support SolarTech’s larger mission: helping homeowners and businesses make confident, informed decisions about solar energy, battery storage, roofing, and energy solutions.
This recognition also reflects the strength of the partnerships behind the work. We are especially grateful to our partners at Trend Growth Partners for their strategy, execution, and continued collaboration throughout this program. Their expertise across technical SEO, content, and digital PR played a major role in helping us navigate challenges, create momentum, and achieve meaningful growth.
“We are super proud to accept the award for SEO/SEM. The award is very meaningful because we worked super hard to build a strategy, grow our brand, and execute it incredibly well, and it has paid off incredibly well for us. And it feels really good to do it in a space like renewable energy, where the more visible we can become, the more we can help people go solar, save money, and save the planet.”
-Steve Marcou, VP of Marketing at SolarTech
The evening was also a reminder of the value of being part of a strong local marketing community. It was an honor to celebrate alongside so many talented marketers, agencies, organizations, and students who are helping elevate the standard of marketing in San Diego.
We are proud of our team, grateful for our partners, and excited for what’s ahead as we continue building SolarTech’s brand, digital presence, and impact across the communities we serve.
Thank you to AMA San Diego and the Sandie Awards judges for this recognition, and congratulations to all of this year’s winners and finalists.
