The European Solar Prize
EUROSOLAR awards the most innovative renewable energy projects of Europe-wide and global importance: our planet needs your successful ideas and innovations.
“The European Solar Prize celebrates living, resilience and prosperity building models in the peaceful international cooperation to defeat humankind’s greatest threat: fossil climate chaos. It is therefore also the flagship program in EUROSOLAR’s Regenerative Earth Decade initiative.” declares Professor Peter Droege, former President of EUROSOLAR.
New EUROSOLAR Board

Dear friends of EUROSOLAR,
for more than 30 years, EUROSOLAR has been paving the way to the solar age and sees itself as an independent voice to ensure that the transition to renewable energies succeeds in a citizen-oriented and decentralized manner. We have always acted independently of parties, companies and institutions. As a non-profit association, we live from donations and memberships. Only in this way can we continue to provide important impulses and maintain our events such as the European Solar Prize and our conferences. A membership is already possible from 65€ per year (and only 25€ for persons up to 27 years). Especially today, the voice of EUROSOLAR is more important than ever. We are grateful for your support!

Regenerative Earth Decade: 100% Renewables are only the beginning
EUROSOLAR has set up a 10-point plan on how the Renewable Decade with 100% renewable energies can succeed. In this plan, EUROSOLAR calls for a tightening of the European Green Deal, climate neutrality towards 100% renewables, carbon sequestration agriculture, afforestation with drought-resistant forests and the rededication of the European circular economy directives to economy-wide carbon sequestration regulations. The goal must be a climate-positive, emissions-negative Europe by 2030.
