Solar tree is a structure resembling a tree that uses solar panels like leaves to generate renewable energy efficiently using less land than traditional solar panel systems. It consists of a long tower with connected solar panel stems that can rotate to maximize sun exposure. Solar trees generate electricity from sunlight and provide an eco-friendly alternative energy source with advantages of low land and maintenance costs but disadvantages of high initial solar panel expenses and need for batteries.

3. INTRODUCTION
 Now a days with the growing population and there is a necessity for
large amounts of energy and the sources to produce these energies are
decreasing day by day.
 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 .

5. WHY SOLAR ENERGY

6. SOLAR TREE
 Tree can produce their own food material by the process called
PHOTOSYNTHESIS.
 By this process they are indirectly providing food to the human society
because we are depending on the green plants for our food directly or
indirectly.
 Solar tree: This is a tree in which the stems connected acts as the
branches of the tree and the solar panels are like the leaves
 Likewise in solar tree solar plates are producing energy for the society.

7. WHAT IS SOLAR TREE
 This is like a tree in a structure and the panels are like leaves of the
tree which produces Energy.
 TREE Stands For
T=TREE GENERATIING
R=RENEWABLE
E=ENERGY and
E=ELECTRICITY

8. COMPONENTS OF SOLAR TREE
 Solar Panel.
 Long tower.
 Batteries.
 Stems for connecting the panels.

9. WHY SOLAR TREES
 Due to less land requirement
 Efficient energy generation
 This is Eco Friendly System
 0% Waste from this system

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.
 It require less land as compare to traditional PV system. So we require
such a plant which can generate max. 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 as in the case of
a natural tree.

11. ADVANTAGES
 Ecologically Friendly
 Decreased Electricity Bill
 Low Maintenance
 Efficiency
 No air pollution
 We wouldn’t have to worry as much about future energy sources
 People can save money
 Land requirement is very less

12. DISADVANTAGES
 Solar panels are expensive
 Solar power is used to charge batteries so that solar powered devices can be
used at night. The batteries can often be large and heavy, taking up space
and needing to be replaced from time to time.

13. CONCLUSION
 Solar tree sounds like the perfect solution for our future energy needs. Solar
tree is a revolutionary urban lighting concept that represents a perfect
symbiosis between pioneering design and cutting-edge eco-compatible
technology .The tree design made 50% more electricity and the collection
time of sunlight was up to 50% longer. it helps the environment, saves money,
cheap to use and you can have them on your homes .It’s free and last for
lifetime and environment friendly.
