The Solar Decathlon AFRICA is an international competition that challenges collegiate teams to design and build houses powered exclusively by the sun. The winner of the competition is the team that is able to score the most points in ten contests.
On November 15, 2016, the Moroccan Ministry of Energy, Mines, Water, and Sustainable development;[2] the Moroccan Research Institute in Solar Energy and New Energies (IRESEN);[3] and the United States Department of Energy signed a memorandum of understanding to collaborate on the development of Solar Decathlon Africa, a competition that will integrate unique local and regional characteristics while following the philosophy, principles, and model of the U.S. Department of Energy Solar Decathlon. The competition is planned for September 2019.
