The best of the best: a solar-powered home for disaster relief situations

If you weren’t able to make it to the Solar Decathlon in Washington D.C. that happened over the past several weekends, you’re in luck. Intrepid bloggers for Renewable Energy World did a top-ten list from the entire event.

My favorite out of their list? Probably the solar-powered houses built specifically for FEMA to use in disaster-relief situations. The home design students built for the multi-day Decathlon showcasing solar home solutions is elegant and simple, but definitely appealing. Now those who suffer from the unlucky strike of a natural disaster will be able to return to normalcy in a home powered by sun that’s also easy on the eyes. A step in the right direction, for sure.
