Industries are heavily dependent on fossil fuels. Considering their swift dwindling rates, the motive to seek and adopt alternatives has taken charge. The sun and its solar energy is one such alternative source of energy, which is generally regarded as rich and actually “free”. The generation of electricity from sunlight using photovoltaic convertors is the most widespread and mature technology for harvesting solar energy. In spite of the benefits associated, solar PV technology has drawbacks in terms of land requirements (notably in urban communities), community perception (due to the lack of amusing aesthetics) and capture efficiency. The cost of setup and implementation of such plants is significantly expensive as well. These challenges can be tackled in an effective and artistic manner by devising the concept of a solar tree. The paper examines the different components of the solar tree as well as its design. The many commercial designs, as well as the solar tree’s uses, are also covered. The development and implementation of solar tree technology can be a big leap in adopting alternative sources of energy, considering that the same would be a lucrative investment after a short span of 26 months of initialization. Further research and development can pave way for nanowire cells that can significantly improve the theoretical efficiency of the system.
