The U.S. Department of Energy announced that 35 teams advanced as finalists in its Solar District Cup Collegiate Design Competition for 2021-2022.
Through the contest, teams design systems that integrate solar, storage, and other technologies for a real-world district or university campus. Teams design their systems based on their chosen entity’s sustainability goals, electric utility rate schedule, development master plan or other relevant information. The three districts for this year’s contest are Cheyney University of Pennsylvania, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, and The Ohio State University.
The finalists are advancing from an initial group of 65 teams from 64 universities.
