AFSIA Solar Awards back again with Africa Energy Forum

The importance of awards can never be quantified.

They’re so important because they drive people to excel beyond their normal capabilities just so they can be recognized for their efforts.

So many awards that have helped humanity greatly include the Pulitzer awards for journalists, the Grammys for musicians, the Oscars for actors, the Nobel Prizes for different sectors, the FIFA awards for football excellence.

Awards are so many, and as Africa gradually begins to turn to solar energy, the AFSIA Solar Awards (www.AFSIAsolar.com/) will definitely aid its necessary solar growth.

And the good news now is that it’s back for its second edition and the window is now open for those in the Africa solar sector to apply for it to be recognized for their contributions to solar energy development on the continent.

Just like its first edition, this second one is also in collaboration with EnergyNet, the organizer of the Africa Energy Forum which has been holding for more than 20 years and which will take place this year in London from November 15 – 17 when the AFSIA laureates will also be revealed.

Applications to the AFSIA Solar Awards will be assessed by some of the best experts of the African solar industry. They will review every application independently and will nominate the outstanding ones in each category.

This year the jury is composed of Demi Edosomwan from TotalEnergies Ventures, Catherine Mukobo from ACERD, Tony Tiyou from Renewables in Africa, Wale Shonibare from AfDB, Ujunwa Ojemeni from the Ministry of Energy & Natural Resources - Lagos State Government, Salma Okonkwo from UBI Group, Wikus Kruger from the Power Futures Lab at the University of Cape Town and Dr. Harald Schützeichel from the Solar Energy Foundation.

As a major player in the solar industry, this is your unique opportunity to shine and be recognized as a true leader in the industry covering all areas from small solar home systems to grid-connected large-scale systems.

The following are the winners of the 2020 AFSIA Solar Awards, giving you a glimpse of the undeniable level of achievement of the participants in the African solar industry:  CrossBoundary Energy, Sterling & Wilson Solar, Africa GreenTec, d.light, Munyax Eco, ANKA Madagascar, Pawame, Solar Box Gabon, Synergy Consulting, Eversheds-Sutherland, Suntrace, African Development Bank, Olaedo Osoka, Phaesun, African Minigrids.
