Orange County Great Park
The Department of Energy announced that for the first time since the inaugural Solar Decathlon in 2002, the next Solar Decathlon will be held outside of the Washington D.C. Mall. The U.S. Department of Energy announced that Solar Decathlon 2013 will be held in Orange County California next year. The new site is the Orange County Great Park in Irvine. 20 new collegiate teams and hundreds of student decathletes will compete in the 2013 competition. Many of the new teams are joint entries comprised of two to three universities. The Orange County Great Park is the site of the former Marine Corps Air Station El Toro, which the City of Irvine is renovating into sustainable parkland for family recreation.
