The Clean Energy and Solar Power Portal Awards sponsored by Trina Solar, an annual celebration of the PV industry from Energy-Storage.News’ UK-based publisher, Solar Media, will include residential energy storage as a category for the first time this October.
The awards event returns for its fourth successive year and will be co-located with the inaugural Clean Energy Awards, established to celebrate the successes of the wider clean technology space.
Nominations deadline is 30 June.

International and domestic players are bringing energy storage products to the UK already. The territory has been identified as a key strategic market for the likes of Germany’s Sonnen, Enphase and Tesla from the US and domestic companies like start-up Moixa and the country’s “greenest utility”, Ecotricity.
Proud owners of Powerwalls have been showing them off on social media [pictured] while a number of trial deployments have seen aggregated residential storage systems of various kinds, including heat batteries, deployed by communities and network operators.
An individual installation done particularly well, or with historical significance, or residential installations grouped together as one project are equally likely to be considered for this year’s first-ever award.
