In a not too surprising finish, the German team won both the Engineering contest and locked up the win for the 2007 Solar Decathlon.
In 2nd place, the hometown favorite: The University of Maryland
In 3rd place, the Cinderella story from California: Santa Clara University
I’ll post more details later with full scores and standings.
