uTree - Street Light Innovation Concept

The use of solar energy will make a fairy tale come true and give energy saving and environmental preservation of the industrial city. uTree is the new innovation of oour streets light now. The uTree concept is one of the most realistic concepts for urban energy generation since these “trees” can be installed virtually anywhere as they do not require more than a few inches of floor space for the supporting pole and take up a few square feet of overhead space.


A rotation engine optimizes energy production by ensuring that the leaves are always facing the sun at the correct angle while easy screwed connections allow each uTree to be easily set up and dissembled. There are 77 cells per leaf and each generates over 2.5w energy per day. Each tree can generate over 1732.5W in an 8 hour day, which equals 13.86 KWH/day per uTree, or 5058 KWH per tree per year. This kind of energy would be sufficient to feed 20 street lights every night.
