Solar Tree Installation in Campus

The Solar Tree is an innovative structure designed to harness solar energy efficiently while occupying minimal ground space. It represents a modern solution to the increasing global energy demand and the limitations of conventional solar panel installations that require large land areas. The solar tree structure mimics the form of a natural tree, where each branch supports a solar photovoltaic (PV) panel that functions as a “leaf” to capture sunlight and convert it into electrical energy. This concept integrates technology with nature, promoting sustainable and eco-friendly power generation. In this project, a solar tree is designed and installed within the campus to demonstrate the practical application of renewable energy. The system consists of three 12 V, 20 W solar panels connected in parallel to maintain the desired voltage while increasing the current output. The generated power is regulated through a 12 V, which charges a 12 V, 6 Ah battery. The stored energy is then utilized to operate 2x 36W Flood lighting and other low- power devices, especially during nighttime. This project aims to create awareness about renewable energy among students and encourage the adoption of green technologies. It also supports India’s mission toward clean and sustainable energy development by showcasing an efficient, space-saving solar solution that combines engineering innovation, environmental responsibility, and aesthetic appeal.
