The design and development of solar trees represent an innovative approach to harnessing solar energy in urban environments. Solar trees are aesthetically appealing structures that mimic the shape and function of real trees, while integrating solar panels into their branches or canopy. This abstract presents an overview of the design and development of solar trees, highlighting their potential benefits, challenges, and future prospects.
Solar trees offer several advantages over traditional solar installations. By utilizing vertical space and integrating into urban landscapes, they address the challenge of limited land availability for solar power generation. The branching structure of solar trees provides shade, making them suitable for public spaces, parks, parking lots, and sidewalks. They can also serve as charging stations for electric vehicles, enhancing sustainability in transportation.
