decorative means of lighting

1. SOLAR TREE
RENEWABLE ENERGY

2. WHAT IS SOLAR TREE
 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

3. A SOLAR TREE
 TREE stands for
 T = TREE GENERATING
 R = RENEWABLE
 E = ENERGY and
 E = ELECTRICITY
The structure of a solar tree is like a tree
and the panels are like leaves

4. 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

5. HOW SOLAR PANELS WORK
 Photovoltaic cells converts sunlight in to electrical energy
 This effect is known as photo voltaic effect
 Solar cells create electricity by converting photons of
Light in to electrons
 Solar cell producing DC is converted to AC by using
inverter

6. NEED OF SOLAR TREE
 It requires less land as compared to traditional PV system
 It can generate maximum energy using minimum land
 It can generate energy very efficiently as compare to
traditional system
 The stem are flexible so that they can rotate in any direction
 And by shaking themselves they produce energy also from wind

7. 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

8. APPLICATIONS
 Street light
 Domestic supply
 Industrial supply

9. ADVANTAGES
 No pollution
 Eco friendly
 Renewable energy source
 Land requirement is very less
 Electricity access to rural areas
 People can save money

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

11. CONCLUSION
 It fulfils the increasing energy demand
 Saves land
 It provides electricity without any power cut
 The extra energy can be provided to the grid
