Solar Power Tree

Amazon India said it will install 8,000kW rooftop solar panels at its fulfilment centres and sortation sites in the country by year-end to make them self-sustaining.

A CSIR laboratory in West Bengal has designed a 'solar power tree' that takes up only four square feet of space and produces about three kilowatts (kW) of power - enough to power about five households.

"The challenge was to come up with a design so as to generate more solar power in less land space."

A new species of palm tree has started sprouting around Dubai. But instead of producing dates, the fronds of the Smart Palm harness the sun's energy to allow people to look up city information, access Wi-Fi, and charge their phones, all for free.

A unique bonzai tree that will not only look pretty on your coffee table but also charge your cellphone and other gadgets using solar energy.
