A PRESENTATION ON

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 . We can also use the technique called
“SPIRALLING PHYLLATAXY” to improve the efficiency of the plant .

 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 .
 WHAT IS SOLAR ENERGY?

Solar energy is radiant light and heat from the Sun that is
harnessed using a range of ever-evolving technologies such as solar
heating, photovoltaic, solar thermal energy, solar architecture, molten salt
power plants and artificial photosynthesis
HOW A SOLAR PANEL WORKS?

 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(DC), this DC current is
converted to AC current by using
an inverter.
WHAT IS SOLAR TREE?

 A solar energy is a decorative means of producing

solar energy and also electricity. It uses multiple
number of solar panels which shape a tree. The
panels are arranged in a tree fashion using
tower/poles.

 TREE stands for

T- TREE GENERATING

R- RENEWABLE

E- ENERGY and

E- ELECTRICITY

 This is like tree in structure and the panels are like

leaves of the tree which produces energy.
 COMPONENTS REQUIRED

Solar panel Batteries

LEDs Stems
DESIGN

 Designed a solar tree using an array of solar

panels of solar cells as leaves.

 The green stems constructed of steel pipes

supporting a light bulb in which solar cells
are connected.

 In place of branches we use solar panel

which has to produce voltage.

 Battery is hidden at the ground base which is

closed with proper material.
SPIRALLING PHYLLATAXY

 It is a technique used in
designing of a 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

increase the efficiency of the
plant.

 ADVANTAGES

 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
