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 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.

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

It is a technique used in designing of solar tree .

It provides the way to help the lower panels from the
SPIRALLING PHYLLATAXY

shadow of upper ones, so that it can track maximum

power from sun.
This technology is used to improve the efficiency of

the plant .

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.

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

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.

Advantages of Solar Panel

Ecologically Friendly
Decreased Electrical Bill
Low Maintenance
Efficiency

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 0.100.12 acres of land in case of
solar tree.

Traditional solar
system

Solar tree

APPLICATION
Street light
House supply
Industrial power supply

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
No air pollution
We wouldnt 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
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.
