Solar Decathlon Houses on the Move
One of the most challenging aspects of the U.S. Department of Energy Solar Decathlon is something very few people, including the team members, see.

As the decathletes watch two years of hard work being hauled away, they are left to hope that everything arrives safely at Orange County Great Park later this month.
