This looks really interesting - in October, the biannual
Solar Decathlon competition hits Washington. From across the country - in fact, from across the world - teams of students will be converging on the city to erect houses - houses they have designed, and which run on entirely self-generated electricity. The 'solar' in the title implies that it's all electricity from the sun, but at least one of the entries in 2005 had a hydrogen fuel cell, so I dunno. Anyway, it looks utterly fascinating, and I wish it was coming to a city near me.

That sounds more like just one event. Not ten.
There are ten sets of scores, for things like 'design and architecture', 'lighting', etc., with individual prizes for each. Hence the decathlon nonsense.
Hm, yeah, I'm thinking a solar decathalon should require the solar technology to drive ten completely different kinds of things. This is more of a Solar Unithon.
