Solar Forest Concept

 
8a267330c9bab777_solarforest Neville Mars' Solar Forest design provides a solution to charging electric vehicles by generating solar energy in a charging station resembling huge parking lots. The trees' trunks are made to plug-in electric cars while the photovoltaic leaves collect solar power by rotating throughout the day to absorb light as well as providing shade for the vehicles. 45_nk020 48_44_group-1 34_05 31_04
Solar Tree is unique among anti-auto pollution designs in that it empathizes with the anthropomorphized automobile, but particularly with the electric car, providing a place for overworked, spent cars to regain their lost torque, to relax beneath the trees, to gain back their juice in an optimal stress-free environment.
Although the sustainable design is still fresh, it is certainly a great environmental solution and one that provides a beautiful urban landscape. Source: Burb.tv
