ABSTRACT
A solar tree is an innovative structure designed to harness solar energy in a space-efficient and aesthetically pleasing manner. Mimicking the form of a natural tree, it integrates photovoltaic (PV) panels on branch-like extensions to capture sunlight and convert it into electrical energy. This design not only optimizes vertical space but also enhances energy generation through strategic orientation of the panels. Solar trees are particularly beneficial in urban environments where horizontal space is limited. They offer a sustainable solution for powering streetlights, charging stations, and small electronic devices, while also promoting environmental awareness. This paper/project explores the design, functionality, and applications of solar trees, emphasizing their potential to contribute to a greener and more energy-efficient future. The concept of the solar tree emerged in the early 21st century as a response to increasing energy demands, urban space constraints, and the global push for sustainable energy solutions. Designed to resemble the shape of a natural tree, a solar tree incorporates photovoltaic (PV) panels mounted on branches to capture sunlight efficiently from multiple angles throughout the day. First introduced in the mid- 2000s, solar trees have since evolved to include features like rotating panels, integrated energy storage, and smart monitoring systems
