What are the Project of the Year Awards?
Solar Builder’s annual Project of the Year awards celebrate the solar industry. Every year we try to highlight the hard work of construction teams and installers, the creativity of engineers, the leadership of developers and the commitment of so many local businesses, government agencies and non-profits to renewable energy.
The Project of the Year awards are also a reminder of progress. This year’s winners illustrate how communities are connecting to solar energy – not just for energy, but also for education and social impact. These projects show how good technology can overcome challenging terrain. They also represent a clear transition from carbon-intensive energy sources to a cleaner future.

Every year, your dedicated editors select a field of nominees from a slew of entries. Our reader base of solar professionals vote on the projects that impress them most, and then we celebrate them in the pages you’ll read. The winners will be divided into four categories based on capacity size:
We also have our Editors’ Choice awards, which spotlight projects we thought were too cool to leave in the shadows.
