Come to the Department of Energy Solar Decathlon and witness the unstoppable spirit of collegiate
teams from around the world as they compete to harness the power of the sun in our nation’s
Capitol.
“Every design decision that we made was driven by how a house can operate in a very
energy-efficient way.”
The Solar Decathlon is a competition that challenges college students to design, build
and operate solar-powered houses that are affordable, highly energy-efficient, attractive,
and easy to live in.
“You really don’t have to change your lifestyle. It’s a home that people can really
enjoy living in.”
They are not the homes of the future—these energy-saving innovations can help families
save money today.
Come visit the homes September 23rd through October 2nd at West Potomac Park. Free admission
and shuttle bus service from the Smithsonian Metro. Learn more at solardecathlon.gov
