Photo of a dirt path extending toward the obelisk of the Washington Monument. One large crane is extended to the left of the path, while two are extended to the right. Homes in various states of construction line the path.

Cranes dominate the landscape on the first day of the Solar Decathlon. (Credit: Kaye Evans-Lutterodt/Solar Decathlon)
Photo of a crane holding half of a house suspended several feet and to the right of several footings that will serve as its foundation. The other half of the house is already in place. The Washington Monument is visible in the background between the two halves of the house.

Photo of several people on the path that runs down the National Mall, and all are wearing hard hats. The Capitol building is in the background and to one side is the home from the Universidad de Puerto Rico.

Hard hats are the fashion du jour during the early days of the Solar Decathlon. Although teams are eager to assemble their solar homes, safety always comes first. (Credit: Kaye Evans-Lutterodt/Solar Decathlon)
