Eco Green Group receiving Green Technology Award 2025 for SolarNature™ biosolar roof system

Eco Green Group has taken home the Green Technology Award of the Year at the prestigious Green Awards UK 2025 for their pioneering SolarNature™ biosolar roof system. This award-winning innovation integrates solar PV with green roofs to boost energy efficiency and biodiversity. Eco Green Group was also a finalist for Green Business of the Year.

SolarNature™ is a large-scale solar roof system which fully integrates 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 offsets this through natural cooling, ensuring panels operate effectively even during hotter periods.

Aside from the benefits in energy output, Keith Hills, founding director of Eco Green Group, stressed the ecological benefits of the system: “SolarNature™ not only creates a system of biodiverse havens for urban pollinators, it also bolsters resilience for existing drainage systems by reducing stormwater run-off.

“You also can’t overstate the wellness benefits these systems add; the boost to people’s overall wellbeing and the aesthetics that greenery can bring to buildings in a community is really impactful.”

Since its market launch in November 2024, SolarNature™ already has real-world application across the U.K, being successfully installed on schools and commercial buildings, setting a new standard for climate-smart construction.

Hills added: “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.”

The award further cements Eco Green Group’s reputation as a leader in green infrastructure innovation, reinforcing its commitment to helping the UK achieve Net Zero goals and tackle biodiversity through a range of functional and cost-effective eco-construction solutions.
