Solar Decathlon China 2018 (SDC2018) is co-sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy and China National Energy Administration, organized by China Overseas Development Association and supported by the School Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League. 22 teams consisting of 41 schools from 10 countries and regions will be competing in Dezhou, Shandong Province in 2018.
Aiming for permanent usage, the competition requires teams to build a single- or two-story solar house with a finished area of 120-200m2 and equipped with all necessary household appliances such as TV, refrigerator, cooktop, dishwasher, washing machine, and computer. In addition, each house shall have an electric vehicle and its matched charging device. Teams will compete in the following ten contests.

Dezhou, known as the “Sun City of China”, is one of the major cities of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Integration. Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway and Qingdao-Taiyuan high-speed railway meet here. Through continuous upstream and downstream extension of the solar energy industry chain, Dezhou has become the largest solar industry cluster in China, covering solar water heater, solar photovoltaic power generation and lighting, solar and building integration, high temperature solar thermal power generation and so on. Dezhou will gradually develop into a comfortable, livable, sustainable, and green city.
Dezhou takes SDC 2018 as an opportunity to develop itself. By applying new photovoltaic technology and ecological energy-saving construction ideas, Dezhou aims to build the first solar intelligent city in China, integrating smart living and distributed photovoltaic power system.
