What is Solar Decathlon?
The United States Department of Energy, sponsors of the Solar Decathlon, have selected a total of 20 collegiate teams from across the United States, Europe, and Canada to participate in the 2007 competition. The competition challenges teams to design and build a home that generates enough energy onsite from solar energy to power a household, home-based business and other related transportation needs. The team that compiles the most points over ten contests held on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. is declared the overall winner. Official Solar Decathlon Site
