Map Of The Solar Village

An aerial view of the Solar Decathlon includes 17 partially constructed solar houses, two large tents, a large crane, and a lot of construction clutter. The Washington Monument is visible in the background.

An aerial view of the 2007 Solar Decathlon site during construction on the National Mall provides a good overview of the layout of the "solar village."
