Global LEAP Awards Launches the 2025 Solar Generator Competition
News
The competition seeks to identify sustainable, cost-effective generators for people living in energy-constrained settings.
On behalf of Global LEAP Awards, we are pleased to announce the launch of the first-ever Global LEAP Awards competition for solar generators!
Globally, more than 82 million fossil fuel generators are currently in use, driving pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, noise, and health risks. Modern solar-powered generators offer cleaner, quieter, and more cost-effective alternatives for people living in energy-constrained settings.
The 2025 Global LEAP Awards Solar Generator Competition will identify and promote the best solar-powered generators. Using a competition-based approach, Global LEAP Awards will drive innovation in early-stage technologies, while building valuable technical and commercial market infrastructure.
