U.S. Department of Energy Secretary Steven Chu announced Thursday that West Virginia University has been selected to compete in the U.S. Department of Energy Solar Decathlon 2013, according to a news release from the Department of Energy’s Office of Public Affairs. WVU will represent the state in the worldwide competition to build solar-powered, highly energy-efficient homes that combine affordability, consumer appeal and design excellence, officials said. Teams from 20 colleges and universities across the U.S. and around the world were selected and will begin a two-year process to design, construct and test their homes before reassembling them at the Solar Decathlon 2013 competition in Irvine, CA, according to the news release.
