Collegiate Solar Innovation Challenge

closed

U.S. Department of Energy Solar District Cup Collegiate Design Competition - The Solar District Cup is a new multidisciplinary collegiate competition that challenges student teams to design and model distributed solar energy systems for multiple buildings on a local electrical distribution network. These systems will integrate solar, storage, and other distributed technologies and capabilities across mixed-use districts, or groups of buildings served by a common electrical distribution feeder, such as a campus, a development, or an urban area. The competition engages students across the engineering, urban planning, finance, and business disciplines to re-imagine how energy is generated, managed, and used in a district.
