Fusing nature and technology, designers over at Vinci Integral Design have conceptualized the Solar Tree – an innovative street lighting system that gets powered by renewable solar energy. The tree-shaped structures have six branches, each of which is equipped with monocrystalline silicon solar cells that generate up to 100W of clean electrical power. The “trunk” of these solar trees is crafted from lightweight aluminum and is painted in different range of colors to suit the environment. The energy is supplied to a 48W LED lamp that has brightness equaling an ordinary 400W halogen lamp.
How does this technology will affect our culture?
1. Solar Trees are a tribute to the energy and beauty of Mother Nature.
2. Reduce the usage of electricity at night.
Legal and ethical challenges this technology will pose.
Since the panels are mounted at different angles, they help in generating a constant energy output. The electricity generated by the system is stored in onboard battery packs that can power the streetlight for up to four days without sun exposure.
Some barriers to acceptance of this technology:
1. Need a lot of money usage.
2. Take a long time to build.
