3. WHAT IS SOLAR TREE
A solar tree is basically a construction like a tree made up of solar
panels which absorb solar energy during the daytime and convert
it into electrical energy which can be stored in batteries. The tree
also consists of LEDs which are activated at dusk till dawn or as
long as the batteries remain charged.
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.

4. NEED
The Traditional solar plant takes very large amount of area
during its implementation that Is the major key factor due to
which the concept of solar tree is introduced ,because solar
tree covers very small area as compared to conventional
solar plant as the panels are mounted on some height
thereby giving its below area for any kind of use by anybody.

5. FUTURE APPLICATIONS
 Street light
 At locations where free wireless internet is available
it enables the people for free access of energy for
charging their mobile and portable lap top devices.
 House supply
 Industrial power supply
 Schools, Universities
 In the field of Golf courses and resorts

6. 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

7. 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 .

8.  Tree can 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

9. How Solar Panels Work?
Photovoltaic cell converts sunlight
into electric energy and this effect is
known as photovoltaic effect.
Solar cells essentially create
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.

10. WHY IT IS BETTER THAN A
TRADITIONAL SYSTEM
 For the traditional system we require
large size of land Example –To
generate 2 MW power from a pv
module we requires 10 -12 acres of
land for housing of panels only.
 For the same amount of energy we
require only 0.10-0.12 acres of land in
case of solar tree.
 It is facilitated with water sprinkler at
the top for self-cleaning of panels, that
increases the efficiency of the solar
panels.
 Even the cultivable land can be
utilized for solar energy harnessing
along with farming at the same time
Traditional solar system
Solar tree

11. SOLAR TREE IN INDIA
 India being a developing country
and highly populated 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.

12. ADVANTAGES
 No pollution
 We wouldn’t have to worry as much about future energy sources
 People in poor country would have access to electricity
 Provide shade and a meeting place
 Land requirement is very less

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

14. FURTHER INTERPRETATION
 The Strawberry Tree is the world’s
first public solar charger for mobile devices,
It was developed by Serbian company
Strawberry Energy.
 Strawberry Tree is a solar and WiFi station
which is permanently installed in public
places such as streets, parks providing
passersby with the opportunity to charge
their mobile devices for free.

15. 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.
