The SolarBotanic Energy Tree is a somewhat artistic, alternative take on traditional solar panel systems that are engineered to fit in well with existing infrastructure in public and private outdoor spaces. The tree-inspired unit has a solar panel array across the top of the canopy, which will generate 5kW of energy and store it with the energy storage and management system. The unit utilizes artificial intelligence (AI) technology to intelligently release power accordingly and manage it to power a home, charge an electric vehicle and more.
The SolarBotanic Energy Tree will see the v01 model available by mid-2023 with the v02 with a battery storage, energy management system (EMS) and rapid EV charging capabilities launching later this year. A third model is expected to arrive by 2025.
