A Complete Survey on Solar Tree Requirement for World Energy Needs

Solar energy is often believed to be the only abundant and free energy resource. Among all the different existing techniques to utilize the sun energy, the well accepted and matured technology is the conversion of solar power into electric power. Despite its advantages, PV technology has issues with the land space prerequisite (especially in urban and semi-urban areas), light absorbing efficiency and people insight (due to the absence of pleasing aesthetics). The notion of a solar tree is proficient in addressing these raised problems efficiently with grace. In this article an honest attempt has been made to review the constituents of the solar tree and its design aspects. The varieties of commercial models are also elaborated along with various applications of the solar PV tree. In this article the major challenges involved with this technology and suggested future research direction have also been discussed.
