The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Solar Energy Technologies Office (SETO) has launched the $2.7 million PRIME Prize to accelerate EPEAT registration for solar photovoltaic (PV) modules and inverters. The PRIME Prize—Promoting Registration of Inverters and Modules with Ecolabel—is a game-changer for advancing sustainability in the solar industry and increasing the availability of environmentally and socially responsible products.

For PV module and inverter buyers, the benefits are clear. EPEAT registration ensures that solar products meet rigorous environmental and social standards, providing confidence that your purchases align with your organization’s long-term sustainability goals. As more products achieve EPEAT registration, you’ll gain access to a growing range of sustainable solar options that enhance your ability to meet corporate and organizational objectives.

Make an impact by encouraging your suppliers to participate in the PRIME Prize and explore EPEAT product registration. By doing so, you’ll play a critical role in fostering a more sustainable solar market and supporting the transition to cleaner technology.
