The document discusses solar trees, which are a decorative way to produce solar energy and electricity using multiple solar panels arranged in a tree-like structure on a tall pole. Solar trees offer advantages over traditional solar panels like requiring less land and being able to generate energy from both sunlight and wind. However, solar trees also have disadvantages such as high costs and potential hazards to wildlife. The document outlines potential applications of solar trees for street lighting and industrial power supply and envisions a future where solar trees help meet increasing energy demands in a sustainable way.

3. What Are
Solar trees

4. “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.”
TREE stands for
T= TREE GENERATING
R=RENEWABLE
E=ENERGY and
E=ELECTRICITY
What ARE SOLAR TREES?

5. Solartrees
The Next Revolutionarily Very Big
Thing

6. Why Should
We Think
About
Solar Trees

7. • Growing
population and
energy demand.
• Living in a
highly populated
country like
India.
why solar tress?

8. AND MOREOVER,
Due to less land
requirement.
Efficient energy
generation.
It can collect energy
from wind.
The factors could be:

9. so,
In all these cases “solar tree” would be a revolutionary urban
lighting concept that represents a perfect symbiosis between
pioneering design and cutting-edge eco-compatible technolog
Solar tree
opens up
new prospects
for urban lighting
in that it satisfies
today’s most pressing
environment,
social,cultural and
aesthetis demands.

10. Why wecalled it as
Solar tree

11. As we know trees are present in
nature and they can produce
their own food material by
the process called
PHOTOSYNTHESIS.
Here we are considering the example
for understanding about the 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. Green
leaves are producing food materials
for human beings likewise this leaves are
producing energy for the society. So it is
very appropriate to called it as a tree.
WhY WE CALLED IT AS SOLAR TREE ?

12. 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

13. How Does a Solar tree
work

14. The Solar Tree panels charge batteries
during the day. At dusk the Solar Tree
automatically switches on its LEDs. The
internal control can also regulate the amount
of light produced depending on how much
charge is left in the batteries. And moreover,
the energy stored in the batteries can be
used for other purposes also.

15. Advantages
Of
Solar trees

16. • No air pollution.
• We wouldn’t have to worry as
much about future energy sources.
Advantages

17. • People in poor country would have access to electricity.
• People can save money.
• Land requirement is very less.
Solar tree is the successful marriage of most
advanced technology i.e., grabbing the electrical
power or energy through a great ease.
Advantages

18. Disadvantages
Of
Solar trees

19. • Cost is high.
• May cause hazards to
the birds and insects.
• Hazards to eyesight from
solar reflectors.
Disadvantages
As we know nothing is perfect in the
world, so is Solar tree.
Here are some of its disadvantages:

20. Applications Of
Solar trees

21. • It can be applied in street lightening system,
industrial power supply etc.
• Putting solar powered LED light systems on trees
would cut down on the carbon emissions.
• It is much better
than the traditional
solar PV system in
area point of view
and also more efficient.
So this will be a very
good option and
should be implemented .
Applications Of solar trees

22. Future Of
Solar trees and
Solar energy

23. Future Of solar trees and solar energy
We charge our electrical
vehicles and also enrich
the environment with eco-
friendly solar trees.
Getting electrical power instantly

24. • To fulfill the increasing energy demand of the people
and 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.
conclusion

25. Thanks to all….
To see the future of energy…..
