Solar Trees: Efficient Energy Solution

The document discusses solar trees, which are structures that incorporate solar panels arranged like a tree to generate renewable energy. A solar tree consists of solar panels, a tall tower, and batteries. It promotes the use of solar energy, which is ecologically friendly, reduces electrical bills, and has low maintenance. Solar trees can power street lights, homes, industries, and electric vehicle charging stations while requiring less land than conventional solar farms. They provide a solution to India's growing energy demands and population without pollution. However, their initial cost is high and they may endanger birds or cause eye issues from reflections.

❖ In 2012 Ross Lovegrove designed the solar tree.
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 .
WHAT IS SOLAR TREE
A solar tree is a structure incorporating solar energy
technology on a single pillar, like a tree trunk. It may be a
solar artwork or a functional power generator. 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
The Objective of many solar trees installations is to promote
awareness, understanding, and adoption of renewable energy.
COMPONENTS OF SOLAR TREE

The solar tree consists of mainly three parts to design.


Solar panels
Long tower
Batteries
WHY WE CALLED IT AS SOLARTREE
➢ 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.
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.
NEED OF
SOLAR
TREE
ADVANTAGES OF SOLAR PANEL

➢ Ecologically Friendly

➢ Decreased Electrical Bill

➢ Low Maintenance

➢ Efficiency
APPLICATION
➢ Street light
➢ House supply
➢ Industrial power supply
➢ Charging slots for cars
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.
ADVANTAGES OF
SOLAR TREES
➢ 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


Disadvantages
Of
Solar trees
➢ Cost is high

➢ May cause hazards to the birds and insects

➢ Hazards to eyesight from solar reflectors


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.
