The advantage of the Solar Power Tree,
. . . is that it takes only
. . . 4 square feet of land, to generate
. . . 5 kW of solar power, whereas a conventional layout requires
. . . 400 square feet of land.
A solar power tree,
. . . developed by the Central Mechanical Engineering Research Institute of India,
. . . is designed to capture rays from the sun,
. . . using an innovative vertical arrangement of solar cells.
The solar tree uses steel “branches,”
. . . to hold multiple solar panels high off the ground,
. . . where they are exposed to more of the sun’s rays.
The array can be reoriented during the day,
. . . to stay facing toward the sun,
. . . which increases output by an additional 10%.
