A competition in which teams of college and university students compete to design, build, and operate the most attractive, effective, and energy-efficient solar-powered house. The Solar Decathlon is also an event to which the public is invited to observe the powerful combination of solar energy, energy efficiency, and the best in home design.

The event takes place on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. The teams' houses and the sponsors' educational exhibits form a solar village, which is open to the public, October 7-16, 2005. The teams' houses will be open for touring everyday except October 12, when they will close for competition purposes. An overall winner will be announced midday on October 15. See the schedule for more information.
