Global LEAP Awards Solar Generators Competition 2025 ($100,000 prizes) – YOA

Deadline: October 29, 2025

Applications are open for the Global LEAP Awards Solar Generators Competition 2025. The Global LEAP Awards Solar Generators Competition goals to establish and promote the very best photo voltaic-powered turbines to be used in power constrained settings, accelerating the worldwide transition to excessive-high quality, zero-emission energy options.

In partnership with the ZE-Gen program, the upcoming Global LEAP Awards Competition will highlight greatest performing photo voltaic turbines.

The competitors will characteristic:

• Rigorous laboratory testing in keeping with the Solar Generator Test Method developed by way of VeraSol and carried out by an ISO-accredited take a look at laboratory. See an summary of the take a look at technique.
• Real-world consumer testing in households, companies, and establishments (as relevant) to guage usability, in-situ efficiency, and general consumer expertise.
• Judging by a panel of sector specialists, utilizing strong, clear analysis standards and enter from market and expertise specialists.
• $100,000 in innovation Prizes, awarded to prime-performing merchandise throughout classes.

Eligibility

• Commercially accessible photo voltaic generator, i.e., not a prototype
• Capable of powering typical electrical masses required by family and small business customers
• Systems meant completely for powering a single-function machine (e.g. an e-bike) should not eligible
• Key elements of the photo voltaic generator (i.e., battery, cost controller and inverter) should be preconfigured and bought collectively as a package
• Must embody consumer guide and shopper-dealing with guarantee coverage
