European Solar Sustainability Award 2025
Welcome to the European Solar Sustainability Award 2025, where sustainability meets the solar-driven energy transition!
SolarPower Europe, the association representing the European solar sector, is proud to celebrate the top sustainability performers in the field of solar power for their efforts to maximise positive impacts on products, projects, communities, the climate, and the environment in Europe.
The European Solar Sustainability Award is an annualcompetition that shines a spotlight on companies and organisations using or advancing solar power to reduce their own and/or the technology’s environmental footprint – ultimately driving greater sustainability for solar power.
By showcasing and sharing the best solar sustainability practices in Europe, SolarPower Europe aims to further establish solar as the pillar of the energy transition and the leading sustainable energy source.
Previous European Solar Sustainability Award Winners were:
2022 Enel Green Power
2023 Iberdrola

Competition
Entries for the European Solar Sustainability Award 2025 will be evaluated by a distinguished jury in two selection rounds. After an initial review, 10 shortlisted companies will be invited to pitch their projects to the jury during an online event. From these, the finalists will be chosen.
