INTRODUCTION

Now a days with the growing population and energy demand we

should take a renewable option of energy source and also we

should keep in mind that energy should not cause pollution and

other natural hazards. In this case the solar energy is the best option

for us.

India is a highly populated country , so we should take the

advantage of such an energy which requires a very less space to

produce energy efficiently . In this case solar tree could be the best

one for us . We can also use the technique called “SPIRALLING

PHYLLATAXY” to improve the efficiency of the plant .

WHAT IS SOLAR TREE

A solar tree is a decorative means of producing solar energy

and also electricity. It uses multiple no of solar panels which

forms the shape of a tree. The panels are arranged in a tree

fashion in a tall tower/pole.

TREE stands for

T= TREE GENERATING

R=RENEWABLE

E=ENERGY and

E=ELECTRICITY

This is like a tree in structure and the panels are like leaves of

the tree which produces energy.

COMPONENTS OF SOLAR TREE

The solar tree consists of mainly five parts to design.

Solar panels

Long tower

LEDs

Batteries

Stems for connecting the panels

SPIRALLING PHYLLATAXY

It is a technique used in designing of solar tree .

It provides the way to help the lower panels from the

shadow of upper ones, so that it can track maximum

power from sun.

This technology is used to improve the efficiency of

the plant .

Tree produce their own food material by the process

called PHOTOSYNTHESIS.

Leaves are producing food materials for human beings.

Likewise in solar tree solar plates are producing energy

for the society.

WHY WE CALLED IT AS SOLAR TREE

HOW SOLAR PANELS WORK?Photovoltaic cell converts sunlight

into electric energy and this effect is

known as photovoltaic effect.

Solar cells essentially generate

electricity by converting photons of

light into electrons.

Solar cell producing direct current,

or DC, this DC current is converted to

alternating current, or AC by using

inverter.

NEED OF SOLAR TREE

Due to less land requirement

It require less land as compare to traditional PV system. Sowe require such a plant which can generate max.energy using minimum land.

Efficient energy generation

It can generate energy very efficiently as compare to traditional system.

ADVANTAGES OF SOLAR PANEL

Ecologically Friendly

Decreased Electrical Bill

Low Maintenance

Efficiency

WHY IT IS BETTER THAN A TRADITIONAL SYSTEM

For the traditional systemwe require large size of landExample –To generate 2MW power from a pvmodule we requires 10 -12acres of land for housing ofpanels only.

For the same amount ofenergy we require only0.10-0.12 acres of land incase of solar tree.

Traditional solar system

Solar tree

APPLICATION

Street light

House supply

Industrial power supply

SOLAR TREE IN INDIA

India being a developed country and highly populated so

we requires a power plant where maximum energy can be

generated by using minimum land.

We must try to produce energy from sun by using solar

tree in our country to increase our per capita land and

fulfil the growing energy demand.

ADVANTAGES

No air pollution

We wouldn’t have to worry as much about future

energy sources

People in poor country would have access to electricity

People can save money

Land requirement is very less

DISADVANTAGES

Cost is high

May cause hazards to the birds and insects

Hazards to eyesight from solar reflectors

CONCLUSION

To fulfils the increasing energy demand the people.

Saving of land, this project is very successful one.

This can provide electricity without any power cut

problem.

The extra energy can be provided to the grid.
