Energy Balance - Solar Decathlon 2007
(100 points)
The Energy Balance contest requires teams to use only the energy generated by the solar electric systems (also called photovoltaic or "PV" systems) on their houses during the competition to provide all of the electricity for the contests. Teams earn full points if the energy supplied to the batteries is at least as much as the energy removed from the batteries during the competition.
