enabled Smart Solar Tree
Solar tree offers an attractive solution location with extremely low shading
to decentralized power generation losses (<2%). Conventional solar

available solar tree are not optimally and vice versa.
designed and are said to have large
shading losses of 20- 30%. Solar However, studies have shown that
tree is developed as a decentralized based on actual solar insolation
energy generating unit that can find pattern for a location, latitude tilt
application in a multitude of areas might not be the optimal orientation.

surveillance and other application tree is based on actual solar insolation
specific requirement. data driven approach to optimize the
orientation of solar panels.
