What AreSolar trees

“A solar tree is a decorative means of producing solar energy and also electricity. It uses multiple number 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 forT= TREE GENERATINGR=RENEWABLEE=ENERGY andE=ELECTRICITY

What ARE SOLAR TREES?

SolartreesThe Next Revolutionarily Very Big Thing

Why ShouldWe Think

About Solar Trees

Should I...?

• Growing population and energy demand.• Living in a

highly populated country like India.

why solar tress?

AND MOREOVER,

Due to less land requirement.Efficient energy generation.It can collect energy from wind.

The factors could be:

so,

In all these cases “solar tree” would be a revolutionary urban lighting concept that represents a perfect symbiosis between pioneering design and cutting-edge eco-compatible technology.

Solar tree opens up new prospectsfor urban lighting in that it satisfies today’s most pressing environment,social,cultural andaesthetis demands.

Why we called it asSolar tree

As we know trees are present in nature and they can produce their own food material by the process called PHOTOSYNTHESIS. Here we are considering the example for understanding about the solar tree. This is a tree in which the stems connected acts as the branches of the tree and the solar panels are like the leaves. Green leaves are producing food materials for human beings likewise this leaves are producing energy for the society. So it is very appropriate to called it as a tree.

WhY WE CALLED IT AS SOLAR TREE ?

COMPONENTS OF SOLAR TREEThe solar tree consists of mainly five

parts to design.• Solar panels• Long tower• LEDs• Batteries• Stems for connecting the panels

How Does a Solar treework

The Solar Tree panels charge batteries during the day. At dusk the Solar Tree automatically switches on its LEDs. The internal control can also regulate the amount of light produced depending on how much charge is left in the batteries. And moreover, the energy stored in the batteries can be used for other purposes also.

Working of a solar tree

AdvantagesOf

Solar trees

• No air pollution. • We wouldn’t have to worry

as much about future energy sources.

Advantages

• People in poor country would have access to electricity.

• People can save money. • Land requirement is very less.

Solar tree is the successful marriage of most advanced technology i.e., grabbing the electrical power or energy through a great ease.

Advantages

DisadvantagesOf

Solar trees

• Cost is high.• May cause hazards to the birds and insects.• Hazards to eyesight from solar reflectors.

DisadvantagesAs we know nothing is perfect in the world, so is Solar tree.Here are some of its disadvantages:

Applications OfSolar trees

• It can be applied in street lightening system, industrial power supply etc.

• Putting solar powered LED light systems on trees would cut down on the carbon emissions.

• It is much better than the traditional solar PV system in area point of view and also more efficient. So this will be a very good option and should be implemented .

Applications Of solar trees

Future Of Solar trees andSolar energy

Future Of solar trees and solar energy

We charge our electrical vehicles and also enrich the environment with eco-friendly solar trees.

Getting electrical power instantly

• To fulfill the increasing energy demand of the people and 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. 

conclusion

Thanks to all….To see the future of

energy…..
