Solar Energy is a very big source of energy due to which technology is growing day by day. With the passage of time, scientists and developers are focusing more on the Solar Energy as it is a free source of energy and easily available to everyone on Earth. They are making more powerful gadgets that work on solar panel. I am also going to introduce such an incredible gadget in this article, that has all its functionality on tinny solar panels. It is beautifully designed small Bonsai tree that can be fitted as a decoration piece on your table....:)
But its main function is to charge your devices like cell phone.
French designer Vivien Muller is the man
behind this incredible concept. The Electree is a solar bonsai tree
which was inspired by the tree’s ability to photosynthesise form sun.
The concept took three years to reach the point where it is now. It is a perfect combination of aesthetics, ecology and functionality.
This Electree consists of 27 amorphous silicon solar panels which captures sunlight more efficiently. The Electree has been divided into different modules which rotate freely to create various shapes with the bonsai tree.
The solar panels receive the solar energy , convert it and then store it in a 13,500 mAh battery in the base of the bonsai tree. The battery can be fully charged in less than 36 hours which then can be used to charge various portable devices like MP3 players, cell phones, tablets, etc. through USB connection. The Electree is designed to place indoors near windows to get most of the sunlight possible.
Specifications:
- Solar Panels: 27 (96mm x 96mm) silicon solar panels
- Electree Size: 40cm high
- Battery Capacity: 13,500 mAh
- Electrical Output: USB + AC plug
