Modular Solar Decathlon Entry up for Sale

solar_decathlon_canada_for_sale_calgarysun__credit__7_2015The modular home that placed ninth in the 2013 U. S. Department of Energy Solar Decathlon competition is now up for auction by Reid’s Auction Canada Inc. Borealis, constructed by University of Calgary and Mount Royal University students features an array of roof-mounted solar panels that generates as much energy as it consumes.

According to calgarysun, the home is designed to be sited in a remote area where there are housing shortages. Reid’s Business Manager, Joe Hajas, said, It’s made so you can set it down anywhere and not use any energy at all.

MHProNews has learned the three modules that comprise the home each measure 280 square feet, weighing just over 12 tons each. So far there is only one bid of $5,000, but that is expected to rise once potential bidders see the home on display beginning Aug. 7 at Mount Royal. ##
