A solar tree is a structure that produces solar energy through solar panels arranged like a tree. It stands as an efficient alternative to traditional solar panel installations by taking up less land area. The solar tree consists of solar panels, a long tower, batteries, and stems connecting the panels in a spiral phyllotaxy formation to maximize energy production. It generates renewable electricity through the photovoltaic effect similarly to how trees produce food through photosynthesis. Solar trees provide benefits like reduced land usage, efficient energy generation, and potential energy collection from wind through flexible stems.

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 OR pole.
TREE stands for
• T= TREE GENERATING
• R=RENEWABLE
• E=ENERGY
• E=ELECTRICITY
 This is like a tree in structure and the
panels are like leaves of the tree which
produces energy.

3.  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

4.  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 .

5.  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.

6.  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.

7.  NEED OF SOLAR TREE
Due to less land requirement It require less land as compare to
traditional Photovoltaic (PV) system. So we require such a plant which
can generate maximum 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.

8.  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.

9. APPLICATION
Street light  House supply  Industrial power supply

10. 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.

11. Solar panels cost thousands of dollars.
Solar power is obviously cannot be created at night.
May cause hazards to the birds and insects
Hazards to eyesight from solar reflectors
 DISADVANTAGES

12. 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.
