Photos: Competition shines at Solar Decathalon

Public education is a big part of the Solar Decathlon. This is the University of Cincinnati's entry, which, like many houses, features plaques for public tours, seen here going up the ramp and deck.

Much of the information is geared toward children. Even before the event opened publicly, there were a number of field trips.
