The U.S. Department of Energy Solar Decathlon 2009 time-lapse cameras provided real-time updates from the solar village throughout the event. Three videos were created from the time-lapse images captured by the cameras, which filmed 24 hours a day on the National Mall.
Camera One was positioned in the middle of the solar village on the National Mall and faced east toward the U.S. Capitol.
Camera Two was positioned in the middle of the solar village on the National Mall and faced west toward the Washington Monument.
Camera Three was positioned on top of the Smithsonian Castle and overlooked the entire solar village.
