EUROSOLAR hat den Europäischen Solarpreis 1994 ins Leben gerufen, um Pioniere der Erneuerbaren Energien in ganz Europa – und weltweit – auszuzeichnen. Seitdem wurde der Europäische Solarpreis an mehr als 250 lokale und internationale Akteurinnen und Akteure aus allen Teilen der Gesellschaft verliehen. Ausgezeichnet werden Städte und Gemeinden, Gemeinschaften, Vereine oder Organisationen, Architekten, Journalisten und engagierte Einzelpersonen. Der Europäische Solarpreis verbindet Menschen, die mit ihrer Innovation, ihrem Engagement und ihrer Arbeit den Weg in eine erneuerbare Zukunft ebnen, um die rasche Energiewende zu 100% Erneuerbaren Energien umzusetzen.
