This document describes a solar tree, which is a structure that produces solar energy in an efficient manner using less land area than traditional solar panel systems. A solar tree consists of multiple solar panels arranged like leaves on a tall pole or tower. It uses a technique called "spiralling phyllataxy" to minimize shadowing between panels and maximize energy collection. Solar trees have applications for street lighting, household power supply, and industrial use. Their advantages include reduced pollution, lower land usage, and ability to provide electricity to more people. Disadvantages are higher initial costs and potential hazards to birds and eyesight.

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
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 .

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
LEDs
Batteries
Stems for connecting the panels

6. 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 .

7.  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

8. 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.

9. NEED OF SOLAR TREE
Due to less land requirement
It require less land as compare to traditional PV system. So we
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.
It can collect energy from wind
The stem are flexible so that they can rotate in any direction and by
shaking themselves they produce energy also from wind as in the case of a
natural tree.

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.

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 also to increase our per capital land
and fulfil the growing energy demand.

12. ADVANTAGES
Air pollution is reduced.
We don't need to worry about future energy resources.
People in poor country may also have chance for
accessing the electricity.
People can save money.
Land requirement is very less.

13. DISADVANTAGES
Cost is high.
May cause hazards to the life
of birds and insects.
Hazards to eyesight from solar
reflectors present in the solar tree.

14. APPLICATIONS
Street light.
House supply.
Industrial power supply.

15. CONCLUSION
To fulfill the demand of energy, solar energy is useful.
 For saving of land, this project is very successful one.
This can provide electricity without any power cut
problems.
The extra energy can be provided to the grid.
