2007 Solar Decathlon

Hello Everyone!

For those who didn't know, right now the Solar Decathlon (www.solardecathlon.org) is on the National Mall in Washington D.C. This is an international competition with schools from the US, Canada, Germany, Spain, and Puerto Rico. All houses are powered entirely by the sun.

I just returned from a trip to visit my school as well as see everything else, and I must say that it is amazing. The technology is impressive, the architecture is incredible and just wow... the competition started last Sunday, and will end this Friday with the winners announces on Friday as well.

I highly recommend you attend this, if you are able. The next competition will take place in 2009. Well, this is all from me.

Have a great day to everyone

Re: 2007 Solar Decathlon

I was in the DC area that weekend.  I didn't get to stop by to see the houses, but I was very impressed with the few designs that I saw.  Some of the homes looked very much like a normal house, with the solar panels nicely integrated with the design.
