Solar Powered Tree
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.
