This project is pushing the boundaries of modern technology and asking important questions about the many possibilities we now have to light our towns and city’s. However, very impractical, very expensive, and in all probability not suitable for mass production – it takes eight men to install/move one ‘Solar Tree’!

It's more than a one off, I think it's an inspiration for town and city planners to start doing something for the planet. Brilliant idea and design.

I´m a civil engeneer intersted in solar energy uses for constructions. I´d like to know more about the solar tree and other ideas in that area. I watched a program today, on CNN, when the solar tree was presented. Thank you. Hello.
