Solar Builder seeks to highlight the most outstanding PV projects in the solar industry each year. Was the design and installation innovative? Did it overcome a challenge in a novel way? Did it help a community? Any inventive, interesting, or impactful PV project — big or small — is eligible. We just need you to tell us about them.
