UK-based SolarBotanic Trees has launched its new photovoltaic (PV) 3D leaf-shaped nano-technology “solar tree” to harness solar energy for charging and energy storage, the company said in a press statement.

This first-generation energy tree aims at the electric vehicle charging market for residential and commercial car parks, where solar power can be captured and stored for charging points, the statement said.

It said the solar tree encompasses a sophisticated AI-driven energy storage and power management system, where trees can be linked and form part of a local grid, or feed into the main grid, adding that the first tree will become available in early 2023.

Students at University of Illinois Chicago (UIC) recently gained experience with solar technology and EVs by building a charging station for one of the school’s vehicles which is used to deliver food and reduce food waste. The little car even has a name: Gemma, but we’ll get to why that is in a minute.

“To charge Gemma off-grid, we implemented a 300-watt solar panel. The solar panel charges a battery that is used to charge Gemma at night,” Joe Downie, a team member, told UIC Today. “The charge station implements manual solar tracking, and it has 12 settings so that it is angled to be most efficient for each month.”
