The University of Minnesota's ICON house, named for how its asymmetrical roof may come to symbolize solar homes in the future, is powered entirely by the sun. It has solar panels aplenty plus the latest in energy-efficient materials. In fact, the house can generate 13 months of energy over a 12-month period, meaning it could conceivably have energy to spare for the power grid. The Solar House project brought together students from the Institute of Technology, College of Design and the College of Continuing Education who have conceived of the concept of the home and built it from the ground up. Now, these U of M students will take the house to Washington DC to compete in the Solar Decathlon.
