EUROSOLAR, in collaboration with KfW-Bankengruppe, will award the annual European Solar Prize again this year. Established in 1994 it has since rewarded towns and municipalities, community businesses, societies or organizations, architects, journalists and individuals for their outstanding contribution to the use and development of renewable energy.

The Solar Prize is given to draw public attention to leaders and pioneers and to spur on the transformation to a renewable energy-based and decentralized energy system. Excellent and innovative projects and initiatives from all parts of society will be celebrated in different categories. The recipients will be honored at a festive gathering at the end of the year.
