News Flash: The 2007 Solar Decathlon Is Open!

October 12, 2007


News Flash: With great fanfare and a military color guard, Secretary of Energy Samuel W. Bodman cut the ribbon this morning to open the 2007 Solar Decathlon. The sun shone down from a blue sky here in Washington, D.C., as the wind blew briskly. A crowd of several hundred people, including members of Congress, foreign dignitaries, media representatives, and the very interested general public attended.

Assistant Secretary Alexander Karsner introduced each of the 20 teams, who marched to the podium in spirited style and paused for a photo and handshake with Secretary Bodman.

Immediately after the Opening Ceremony, lines of people quickly formed outside the houses for the first of the house tours. The competition will continue through Friday, October 19, when the overall winner will be announced. House tours for the public will continue through October 20.

Well done everyone! The solar village is open!
