Awards Ceremony & Reception October 27

Join us at Solar Farm House in Chicago October 27 for full evening of recognition and revelry to honor recent excellence in the advancement of agrivoltaics and ecovoltaics across North America embodied in the achievements this year's North American Agrivoltaics Awards Recipients, and celebrate in person with those attending!

Early bird registration is now available to join an esteemed assembly of the very best in agrivoltaics and ecovoltaics the evening of 10/27 to share solar-farmed fare and extended networking to recognize and celebrate the 2026 North American Agrivoltaics Awards recipients!

Now in its third edition, this prestigious annual event celebrates outstanding achievements in dual-use solar development across North America by recognizing the people, projects and plans that are breaking new ground and growing new opportunities–and sharing their stories. By elevating and celebrating the real work product of agrivoltaics and ecovoltaics (AgPV) and showcasing the very best of what’s possible, the NAAA hopes to inspire wider adoption of AgPV and cultivate a generation of enduring growth of dual-cropping in agriculture and supercharged soil conservation.

Join the SFS community alongside AgPV’s best and brightest October 27 at Solar Farm House in Chicago (next to the United Center) for a short program recognizing 2026 NAAA recipients present in an intimate ceremony and sharing the stories behind the results of their work. Tasting (some of) the fruits of their labor will also be possible at this limited capacity event serving (very) heavy hors d'oeuvres prepared in house with solar-farmed ingredients–including some harvested by NAAA recipients themselves–as well as open bar service.
