It requires significant to cater a gigantic energy demands due to most effectively 1% land in comparison to the huge population. The solar technology is the conventional flat arrangement. The panels of flat impeccable option for generating power by avoiding mounting for homes are ineffective, as the approach any pollution. Solar trees are anticipated to bring of sun's rays is not constant, particularly for the visibility to solar technology and to broaden period of the changes in seasons. Some residential consciousness in a commercial or public environment. solar systems are intended to track the sun but these The solar power tree is the innovation which produces systems raise the cost of solar energy because they energy efficiently and provides better alternative to flat are costly and require maintenance. These solar trees mounting of PV systems as it required less space. For have been intended to give different means of power residential lighting and different applications, to various urban and built environments. These utilization of Solar Tree is increasingly pertinent when ranges from controlling portable phones, electric PV framework is to be utilized. This paper presents cars, buildings, road lighting, street lightening and results from study of implementation of Solar Tree covering huge and little scale region. Solar trees are project in urban part of City or village area [1]. really a practical resolution for metropolitan street lighting. There is a rapid boost in the use of PV Sun daily radiates a massive amount of energy to systems in India due to continuous decrease in prices Earth, and yet, that energy is still not accurately of solar cells and its accessories. But there are a exploited in the World. There are numerous reasons for few obstacles for selection of this innovation in rural this. One of the fundamental reasons is the least and remote areas due to the security of the awareness about the advantages of sun powered framework and its components from robbery. Most energy and its usages. There is no encouragement for of the provincial road lighting PV framework use of solar panels. Building the sun powered tree can introduced by the government is not in working be helpful for bringing awareness about solar energy, and need of upkeep. Subsequently directly PV frame its benefits and methods of utilization. This paper works exhibit to be suited basically for urban & explains the chance of building a solar tree, covering corporate utilize. Still, there is less response for use specialized, social and monetary viewpoints. of PV system for domestic applications due to high Advantages and potential disadvantages are explained, preliminary cost and area required for installation of while unique emphasis is given essentially to its usage such systems. In this perspective use of PV because of the requirement of land and comparing technology for the domestic requirement in the form number of bright hours/days out of every year [4]. of the solar tree is the excellent alternative as compared to conventional flat or rooftop mounting. Key Words: PV system, Solar Tree, Solar panel, Solar Solar trees can be installed near, opposite to the Technology, Renewable Energy house or on a terrace, where there is no shading during a day [1]. 1. INTRODUCTION Solar Tree or Solar Photovoltaic Trees are a kind of This paper exhibits a brief on design and growth of construction that looks similar to trees. They may Solar Tree models for domestic application be framed from small scale to big scale. It is an considering the average prerequisite of small Indian artwork which is a combination of creative and home. Solar technologies are mainly characterized in technological effort. This exceptionally new concept is two types as passive or active solar. That includes the conceived in an effort to utilize new technology relating to harvesting and use of sun energy [1]. © 2020, IRJET | Impact Factor value: 7.529 | ISO 9001:2008 Certified Journal | Page 4582 International Research Journal of Engineering and Technology (IRJET) e-ISSN: 2395-0056 Volume: 07 Issue: 06 | June 2020 www.irjet.net p-ISSN: 2395-0072 way they confine, convert and share out solar energy. The 21st century is going to be the age of sun (Solar Photovoltaic panels and solar thermal collectors are Energy) as the 19th and 20th century was of coal and being used to harness the energy as an active solar oil respectively. In the world oil is being finish out technique. Orientation of building to the Sun, and it is projected that 80% of the world’s supply assortment of materials with appropriate thermal will be utilized at our lifetimes. Coal storage appears mass or light dissolving properties, and designing to be very massive but this stock will be gone if spaces that naturally create circulation of air are part rapidly uses. Thus, the solar power tree is very of the Passive solar techniques. The general effective to capture huge amount of solar energy by terminology of sunlight converted into electrical utilizing a little surface area of precious land. They energy, either straightforwardly by photovoltaic (PV), require only 45q. feet area for a single tree it means or indirectly using intense alternative energy of solar they can be installed on road side. The village roads power (CSP) is “Solar power”. CSP systems make use and the boundary walls of the paddy fields will be the of lenses or mirrors and tracking systems to focus a perfect area for the installation of solar tree as they huge area of sunlight into a small beam. PV can provide sufficient space. They can contribute transforms light into electric current using the sufficient power for electrification of villages and photoelectric effect. A photovoltaic cell (PV), irrigation activities. Another biggest source for occasionally named solar cell, is a tool that converts planting the solar tree is the State and National light into electric current using the photoelectric Highways. One generic calculation depicts that if effect. The “Solar Tree” is a combination of solar trees are installed on a National Highway of creative and technological attempt which exists as length of 300Km; it would generate 110MW of power a form of solar artwork. Within the past few years, [4]. artistically inclined inventors have strived to envisage new methods to get utility from solar cell technology. Demand for energy is rising continuously with each This relatively new model was conceived in an period and to meet the specified demand we must effort to merge new technology, connecting to the focus on utilization of non-conventional sources of absorption and use of solar power[1][2][3]. energy. Energy of the Sun is the best alternative amongst the renewable energy sources. The solar 2.
