The 2007 Solar Decathlon, sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy, was held October 12-19 on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. Teams of university students competed to design, build and operate the most attractive and energy-efficient homes.
A team of students from Technische Universitat Darmstadt of Germany won the 2007 Solar Decathlon in part by building a house powered by SunPower high-efficiency solar panels. SunPower solar panels were used by nine of the 20 teams competing in the event, including this year’s third place winner, Santa Clara University from California.
