A team of students from Germany’s Technische Universitat Darmstadt won a weeklong competition on the National Mall for the best, most efficient and well-designed and -engineered solar home.
A team from the University of Maryland finished second, and a team from Santa Clara University was third.
The Solar Decathlon, sponsored by the Energy Department, required construction of an exclusively solar-powered home that uses no more electricity than is generated by its solar panels over a five-day period.
