The honorees for this award will have demonstrated extraordinary leadership and innovations in solar policy and market transformation, rooted in the social sciences, including Anthropology, Economics, Geography, History, Law, Politics, Psychology, and Sociology or in related practices, such as organizational management, market research, or business-model innovation. The Award will focus on leaders who have impacted solar policy and market transformation in the U.S., though they may not be working exclusively in this country.
