3. 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
advantages 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.

4. 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.

5. COMPONENTS OF
SOLAR TREE
The solar tree consists of mainly five parts to
design.
 Solar panels
 Long tower
 LDEs
 Batteries
 Stems for connecting the panels

7. SPIRALLING
PHYLLOTAXY
 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. WHY WE CALLED IT AS SOLAR TREE
 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.

9. HOW SOLAR PANELS
WORK
 Photovoltaic cell converts sunlight
into electric energy and this effect is
known as photovoltaic effect.
 Solar cells essentially create
electrically 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.

11. WHY IT IS BETTER THAN A TRADITIONAL
SYSTEM
For the
traditional
system we
require large
size of land.
Example-To
generate 2MW
power from a
pv module we
requires 10-20
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.

12. APPLICATION
STREETLIGHT HOUSE SUPPLY INDUSTRIAL
POWER SUPPLY

13. 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
fulfill the growing
energy demand.

14. 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

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

16. CONCLUSION
Solar energy is a type of energy
generated by the sun. Solar tree
sounds like the perfect solution
for our future needs.
