The Solar T.R.E.E.
captures energy from sunlight and wind to generate electricity for homes.
T - Tree generating
R - Renewable
E - Energy and
E - Electricity
Solar T.R.E.E.s are as efficient at capturing sunlight and producing energy as plants in nature. They can power homes, reducing costs and air pollution. They would also collect energy from the wind.
The solar tree blends art and solar energy technology in a sculptural expression. Solar trees are both artistic and functional clean energy machines. The term "solar tree" has been used to describe a variety of structures incorporating solar energy technology on a single pillar (like a tree trunk), and has become a generic term describing this category of aesthetic solar systems, within the larger realm of solar artwork.

Intent and Context
Solar trees are intended to bring visibility to solar technology and to enhance the landscape and architecture they complement, usually in a commercial or public context. An objective of many solar tree installations is to promote awareness, understanding, and adoption of renewable energy. They are not typically used as a primary source of energy for a property—that role is accomplished by rooftop solar systems. Solar trees are complementary to rooftop solar systems, or other green building measures, symbolizing these larger investments and their environmental benefit.
Benefits of solar tree
Solar trees deliver the following benefits:
Build awareness and interest in solar technology, thereby promoting its adoption
Provide shade and a meeting places
Differentiate properties, especially those with other hidden green building measures
Origin and Progress of solar tree[edit]
Unique sculptural creations for a single sites began to appear in 1998 (e.g., the 7 kW tree in Gleisdorf, Austria) or earlier. A number of variants of solar trees have been conceived, not all of them realized in installations. Locations have included roadways, public areas in cities, schools and universities, office buildings, science museums, and more. Recently, designers and manufacturers have introduced solar trees as products, designed to deliver the benefits of solar trees in a repeatable way to more places. Examples include Ross Lovegrove's solar tree which incorporated seating, lighting, and circular groupings of photovoltaic cells, Envision Solar solar parking canopy specifically trademarked Solar Tree, and Spotlight Solar's line of architectural structures.
