Team Germany has just been declared the champion of this year's Solar Decathlon, which challenges 20 teams to create the most attractive and energy-efficient solar powered home. The winning surPLUShome features a sleek, dark facade that is almost completely covered in photovoltaic panels and can provide more than twice the amount of energy it needs to operate. An impressive final score of 908 points out of 1,000 secured the country's reputation for engineering and technical prowess, lighting the way for a solar powered future. Bustler | Inhabitat
