What is the best design for a livable home powered entirely by the sun that can be transported anywhere in the world and assembled in just a few days? This is the design challenge of the Solar Decathlon, the brainchild of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE).
A temporary village of full-sized, solar-powered houses will open for public viewing from Oct. 5 to Oct. 15 next to the 61st and Peña A Line station (but not open every day so check the schedule).

A 382-acre plot of prairie along Peña Blvd. has, over the past couple of years, become a hotbed of cutting-edge technology that could become part of our lives in the not-too-distant future.
The Solar Decathlon is a competition among 15 university-based teams to build a full-sized solar-powered house that blends design excellence and smart energy production with overall innovation, market potential, energy efficiency and water efficiency.
