The DOE 2007 Solar Decathlon is a cutting edge competition. Twenty teams selected by the U.S. Department of Energy, from colleges and universities around the globe, participate in an unparalleled solar competition to design, build, and operate the most attractive and energy-efficient solar-powered home. In fall 2007, the teams transport their solar houses to the National Mall in Washington, D.C., where they form a solar village. The teams compete in ten contests to determine an overall winner. Using only energy from the sun, the teams generate enough electricity to run a modern household. With an eye on energy efficiency, the students carefully choose the systems, products, and appliances used in their houses.

The DOE 2007 Solar Decathlon is scheduled to for October 12-20 at the National Mall in Washington, D.C. Santa Clara University's Engineering Team will begin the final assembly of the house in the competition on Tuesday October 3, 2007, with opening ceremony being held at 10 a.m. October 12, 2007.
