International Solar Alliance (ISA) has successfully institutionalized ISA Solar Awards to recognize distinguished scientists and organizations that excel in providing affordable, reliable and sustainable solar energy. This award show will promote ISA’s agenda of addressing the energy access needs and energy security issues in a green and clean manner by facilitating massive deployment of solar technology at an affordable cost and enhance participation of individuals, institutions and companies in the sector.

The agenda of these awards are to encourage the contributions and progress in bringing scalable solutions to the forefront, to inspire a shift in the approach towards affordable clean energy and to activate work towards development in the field of solar energy, whilst providing the necessary platform for incubation to emerging innovations in the field. The show has three award categories such as ISA Kalpana Chawla Haryana Solar Award, ISA Karnataka Visvesvaraya Solar Award, and the ISA Diwakar Solar Award.

“The world is at a critical juncture now and is staring at an uncertain future in terms of energy production. All nations need to come together and formulate a mechanism to address energy needs through clean and sustainable methods like Solar. Combined efforts by the nations will form the pillar of a successful solar revolution. The ISA awards are an opportunity to recognize the brilliant minds who are not only doing exemplary work in the field of Solar Energy, but also set an example and inspire other individuals, institutions and nations to follow,” said Upendra Tripathy, Director General, International Solar Alliance (ISA).

The details of the awards and the application process are available on the Official ISA Portal. The application forms will be evaluated by a screening committee followed by an International Awards Committee, comprising of high- level dignitaries and leaders from the renewable energy sector. Rachel Kyte the Dean of The Fletcher School, Tufts University will lead as the Chair of the Awards Committee.
