Global LEAP Awards
Global LEAP Awards is an international competition that identifies and promotes the world’s best, most energy-efficient solar appliances and equipment.
About Global LEAP Awards
Appropriately designed, highly efficient appliances and equipment are essential drivers of improved access to energy. Since launching in 2012, the Global LEAP Awards have evolved into a trusted global brand that serves as the de facto source of accurate, actionable information about the quality and energy performance of appliances designed for use with off-grid solar energy systems, mini-grid, and areas with inconsistent grid connection. The Global LEAP Awards identifies leading technologies in emerging markets for investors, companies, and governments.
With our partners, the Global LEAP Awards has highlighted innovations in solar fans, off-grid cold storage, refrigerators, electric cookers, and other technologies, helping to de-risk companies and grow markets.
