Eco Construction Firm Wins National Green Technology Award

ECO GREEN GROUP was announced winner of the Green Technology Award of the Year at the Green Awards UK 2025.

The eco construction firm, also a finalist for Green Business of the Year, took home the award for its SolarNature™ biosolar solution, a large-scale solar roof system created to integrate solar PV technology with biodiverse green roofs. By elevating panels above a living roof surface, the system harnesses the cooling effect of vegetation to improve solar efficiency.

Research shows that solar PV efficiency can fall by between 0.3% to 0.5% for every degree above 25°C. The SolarNature system is designed to offset this through natural cooling, ensuring panels operate effectively even during hotter periods.

Green Technology Award

Since its market launch in November 2024, SolarNature has already been installed on schools and commercial buildings.

Keith Hills, Founding Director of Eco Green Group, commented: “We are immensely proud to receive this award, which recognises both the innovation and practicality of SolarNature along with the dedication of the team behind it. We were also thrilled to be a finalist for the Green Business of the Year.

“At Eco Green Group, we believe the future of building design should seamlessly combine technology and ecology. SolarNature shows that urban greening and renewable energy is easily achievable whilst showing economic return for minimal outlay.”
