Solar Powered Tree by Tourism London

In an effort to reduce the amount of grid electricity used in their offices, Tourism London has announced the world’s tallest solar powered tree that will be able to produce about 8.6KW of power. Electricity generated will provide income to pay for the project during the contract period. It was designed to be a visual landmark to highlight the importance of clean, renewable energy and features three pole mounted array of photovoltaic modules. It stands at seven meters tall and has 27 leaves. The whole project aims to produce 10,000 kWh of electricity every year, which is about half of what’s taking office each year, and will also help offset about 10 tons of CO₂ per year from coal-fired power plants.

Solar Forest by Neville Mars

Neville Mars has developed an electric vehicle charging stations which take the form of solar trees. Photovoltaic grove serves dual functions, acting as a go to clean renewable energy sources while providing a shady place to park the cars as they charge.

Individual trees in the forest consists of a series of photovoltaic leaf mounted on a tree branch. There is electrical outlet at the base of each trunk that can be used to charge your electric vehicle. [Via]
