The Spanish government’s first Solar Decathlon Europe (SD Europe) took place last month in Madrid, Spain. SD Europe is a spinoff of the version hosted in Washington D.C. and organized by the United States Department of Energy, with two biannual competitions held on alternating years. The Queen’s Solar Design Team (QSDT) has now visited both of the sister Decathlons; these fact-finding missions have supplemented ongoing research at Queen’s as well as provided us with an insight into the nuances of each competition.
Each Solar Decathlon features roughly twenty university teams from around the world. Team members are guaranteed an unparalleled learning experience that involves working in a multidisciplinary setting, connecting with leading businesses in the clean-energy sector, and applying classroom theories to tangible projects. These competitions are meant to educate the public about the many cost-saving technologies and techniques that can be applied to their own homes. Click here to read more.
