At the Solar Decathlon in Irvine, students from Orange County colleges will be among the international competitors designing and building beautiful solar-powered homes that may represent the way we live in the near future. To gather ideas and learn how energy-saving features can help save money, visit the Solar Decathlon in Orange County Great Park in Irvine Oct. 8-11 & 15-18, 2015 from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.
