German Team Wins Solar Decathalon

The students from the Technical University of Darmstadt prevailed over competition from the U.S., Canada, and Spain. The competition demanded that houses of 600-800 square feet be powered entirely by the sun, among other restrictions. The houses were constructed on the Mall in Washington, D.C., and can be toured virtually online.
