2025 Solar Farm Summit
Recognizing outstanding achievements and excellence in solar farming.
The Solar Farmer of the Year Award recognizes an extraordinary farmer who has demonstrated exceptional achievements in growing vegetables, fruits, grains and other crops in agrivoltaic systems in the field. This singular accolade celebrates those who have not only embraced the practice of agrivoltaics and achieved prodigious success cropping and producing solar power in symbiosis, but who exemplify professional excellence in their efforts to pair agricultural production and solar energy and advance the field of solar farming by their example.
Recognizing outstanding achievements and excellence in solar grazing.
The Solar Rancher of the Year Award recognizes an exceptional rancher or grazier who has demonstrated outstanding achievements in agrivoltaic pasturage, ranching and livestocking in the field. This singular accolade celebrates those who have not only embraced the practice of agrivoltaics and achieved prodigious success pairing pasturage and solar power, but who exemplify professional excellence in their efforts to pair livestock production and solar power and advance the field of solar ranching by their example.
Recognizing outstanding achievements and excellence in ecovoltaics.
The Solar Eco-Steward of the Year Award recognizes an extraordinary steward of ecosystem services who has achieved significant advancements integrating conservation, habitat restoration, pollination, carbon sequestration, soil regeneration, stormwater retention and/or other ecosystem services into symbiotic agrivoltaic systems in the field. This singular award celebrates those who have not only embraced the practice of agrivoltaics and successfully paired solar power generation with ecological function and environmental conservation, but who exemplify excellence in their efforts to enhance ecosystem services with solar energy and inspire growth in the field of ecovoltaics by their example.
Recognizing outstanding achievements and excellence in solar farming.
The Solar Farm of the Year Award recognizes an agrivoltaics project achieving exceptional advancements in growing vegetables, fruits, grains and other crops in agrivoltaic systems in the field. This singular award celebrates a solar farm that has gone beyond the successful adoption of agrivoltaics, inspiring broader impact and contributing exemplary best practices to the working knowledge of solar farming.
Recognizing outstanding achievements and excellence in solar grazing.
The Solar Ranch of the Year Award recognizes an agrivoltaics project making extraordinary progress pairing livestock grazing with solar power generation. This singular award celebrates a solar ranch that has gone beyond the incorporation of livestock, inspiring broader impact and contributing exemplary best practices to the working knowledge of agrivoltaic systems harnessing both solar power and animal power.
Recognizing outstanding achievements and excellence in ecovoltaics.
The Solar Ecosystem of the Year Award recognizes an ecovoltaics project making exceptional strides synergizing solar energy and ecosystem services. This singular award celebrates a dual-use project that not only successfully combines solar power generation with environmental conservation and ecological function, but establishes new benchmarks for the integration of beneficial vegetation, wildlife and ecosystem services into solar energy systems.
Recognizing outstanding excellence in innovation, design, performance and/or function of a planned, but not yet constructed, dual-use (agrivoltaics or ecovoltaics) solar development project. Nominations should be post-design phase projects formerly submitted for approval with relevant regulatory authorities.
Recognizing an exceptional individual whose unwavering commitment and influential leadership have propelled the integration of agrivoltaics and dual-use projects to new heights within their organization and beyond.
The 2025 NAAA Ceremony and Reception will be held at the 2025 Solar Farm Summit in Chicago, IL.
Location: TBD
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.
