Hungary’s ODOO Solar Decathlon House is Wrapped in Photovoltaic Panels

The vertical and rooftop solar panels on Hungary's innovative <a href="http://odooproject.com/en/">ODOO Solar Decathlon House</a> aren't just there to provide energy - they also add to the aesthetic appeal of the project. An expansive covered terrace (complete with an outdoor kitchen and sleeping area) fills the gap between the outer walls on one side and the remaining living area, which - combined with a unique heating and cooling system - contributes to this prefab home's year-round comfort.
