"I’m so proud of the dedication of my team and the more than 170 customers who are harvesting the cheapest, greenest electricity. I am grateful for the recognition these awards bring to what is now an easy choice for homeowners to decarbonize their number one source of home emissions affordably."

Harvest was named a finalist in the Technology Whitespace category of Reuter’s competition. This award celebrates “the most innovative technologies in the energy transition arena, that bridge the gap to make the seemingly impossible possible.” The nominations were judged independently by a carefully selected panel of judges composed of industry experts from academia, media, NGOs, and IGOs. Technology applications were evaluated based on relevance to zero-carbon energy, commercial viability, and disruptive potential. Winners in each category will be announced in New York on June 25, 2024.

The GreenTech Company list was presented by TIME and Statista Inc., the leading statistics portal and industry ranking provider. Harvest ranked 55 out of 250 on the March 5, 2024 list. The ranking of US companies is based on the research and analysis of over 4,600 companies across three dimensions: positive environmental impact, financial strength, and innovation drive. More information on its methodology can be found here.

The Edison Awards™, named after the American inventor Thomas Alva Edison, recognizes some of the most innovative products and business leaders in the world.
