Uttar Pradesh [India], August 8: This October, the Renewable Energy India (REI) Expo 2025 is going beyond dazzling exhibits and powerful panels. In a landmark move, REI will host Season 5 of the Solar Premier League (SPL) — a high-voltage skill showcase that puts the spotlight not just on what we build, but how we build it.
Held from October 30 to November 1, 2025, at the India Expo Centre & Mart, Greater Noida, REI 2025 isn’t just the largest clean energy gathering in India — it’s the biggest in the solar industry. With 500+ exhibitors, 50,000+ visitors, and a reputation for shaping the renewable energy narrative of the nation, no one in the industry can afford to miss this event.
This year, REI is not only a technology showcase — it’s becoming a national platform for skills, sustainability, and empowerment.
What is SPL?
The Solar Premier League (SPL) is not your average competition. It’s a live, skill-based challenge where participants demonstrate how to professionally install solar energy systems — from mounting panels and managing cabling to connecting inverters and ensuring safety protocols. This is where India’s renewable energy dreams get their boots dirty — literally.
In its fifth season, SPL is shifting from standalone stages to REI’s mega platform, evolving into a nation-building movement. It’s no longer just a contest — it’s a campaign for real skills, real jobs, and real impact.
A Special Spotlight: Women’s Empowerment
In a powerful push towards inclusivity, SPL Season 5 will proudly feature an All-Women Solar Installation Team. This initiative highlights the rising role of women in the green energy workforce — not just in leadership, but on the ground, in action. Women’s empowerment in renewable energy isn’t a buzzword anymore — it’s a movement, and REI 2025 is placing it front and center.
What Happens in SPL Season 5?
At the core of SPL is performance under pressure. Participants will be evaluated on:
- Speed & accuracy of installation
- Safety and compliance protocols
- System functionality and performance
- Team coordination and problem-solving
This year, the competition will also introduce modules focused on new technologies — including hybrid systems, energy storage, and smart metering — making it a testbed
for future-ready talent.
Why SPL @ REI Matters More Than Ever
India’s green energy goals are no secret — 500 GW of non-fossil capacity by 2030 is an audacious target. But ambition alone won’t light a bulb. According to recent industry data, 1.7 million skilled professionals will be required in the renewable energy sector by 2027. Currently, we face a shortfall of over 1.2 million.
This is where SPL Season 5 hits the mark. Hosted within REI 2025’s vibrant ecosystem of innovation, policy, and investment, SPL directly addresses the skills gap by recognizing, rewarding, and recruiting hands-on solar talent.
As MNRE (Ministry of New and Renewable Energy) and key industry leaders lend their support, SPL becomes more than just a skills contest — it becomes a bridge between potential and progress.
Who Can Participate?
The SPL is open to all — solar professionals, training centers, and even freelancers. Whether you’re an ITI graduate looking for your big break or a solar installer who wants to prove your mettle, this is your spotlight.
The Bigger Picture
As India races ahead in renewable capacity, the success of this journey depends on more than technology. We need trained hands, sharp minds, and ready boots on the ground. SPL Season 5 at REI 2025 sends a clear message:
The future of energy is not just solar-powered — it’s skill-powered.
This is not just a competition. It’s a revolution. And it’s open to everyone who wants to be a part of India’s green leap forward.
