The document introduces the concept of a solar tree, which uses multiple solar panels arranged like the branches and leaves of a tree to generate renewable energy efficiently using less land area than traditional solar panel systems. It discusses how a solar tree works, its components like solar panels, batteries, and lights, and the technique of "spiralling phyllataxy" to minimize shadowing of lower panels. Benefits include reduced land usage, efficient energy generation, and ability to collect energy from wind as well. Solar trees could help meet India's growing energy demand while preserving land resources.

2. 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 .

3. 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.

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.  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 .

6.  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

7. 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.

8. 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.

9. Advantages of Solar Panel
 Ecologically Friendly
 Decreased Electrical Bill
 Low Maintenance
 Efficiency

10. Gujarat has shown the way with the
commissioning of the world's first 1 MW
canal-top solar power plant in Mehsana
district.

12. 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.
Traditional solar system

13. APPLICATION
 Street light
 House supply
 Industrial power supply

14. 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.

15. 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

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

17. 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.
