Honoring achievements in the advancement of agriculture + solar energy
The North American Agrivoltaics Awards (NAAA) is an annual campaign to discover, elevate and celebrate outstanding achievements in the advancement of dual-use solar development in North America. Following open nominations, finalists best representing excellence in agrivoltaics and ecovoltaics are chosen by the host committee. Ultimate NAAA winners are decided via aggregated public and committee vote and will receive individual awards while being recognized on stage during the NAAA Ceremony and Reception held during the Solar Farm Summit.

About the Solar Farm Summit
Solar Energy + Agriculture + Land Stewardship
The Solar Farm Summit is a solar energy, land use and agrivoltaics conference and expo focused on ground-mounted solar development and dual-use projects co-locating solar power and agricultural production or advanced conservation practices, including pollinator habitat, as well as the redevelopment of marginal and brownfield land.
Beyond ‘making a space’ and market for those attending our conference, our aim is to begin an ever-present campaign to seed the marketplace of ideas far and wide. We aim to prove solar, agriculture and conservation land uses are not in conflict and elevate the broader agrivoltaics conversation. We’re intent on opening specific opportunities for farmers who attend each Solar Farm Summit, but our highest objective is to win hearts and minds across the heartland, and move hands to action until agrivoltaics is adopted on a planetary scale.
