Proposed the first time in 2002 by the United States Department of Energy, the Solar Decathlon competition is open to all collegiate teams from all over the world who want to test themselves in the design of a technological, efficient, and self-sufficient house whose main source of energy is the sun.
From the application and the study of new technologies, project ideas arise that become the impetus for future development.
The Solar Decathlon competition is divided into different stages, each of which corresponds to a progressive stage of advancing the design. The first preliminary concept draft is delivered as a proposal to be selected as one of 20 teams to compete.
