Abstract
Solar energy is most important form of renewable energy. It is cheap and easily available but it required a lot of area for production of solar power to install them in a particular space. This paper proposes a comparison of solar panel in matrix form and a solar power tree in a particular area. A solar power tree requires very less place to produce efficient energy. Solar Tree is made of metal structure , it has a number of solar panels which are used to give the shape of a tree and arranged in a tall tower. Spiralling phyllataxy is technique used to improve the efficiency of the plant as it prevent the lower panel shadowing. Solar photovoltaic modules are arranged in series form like fibonacci series in place of leaves in solar tree. By using this technique the amount of energy produced by solar tree is more than the energy produce by an array of solar cells. Solar trees are produces about 50% more electricity .The increasing energy demand, economy of land, the solar tree concept is very successful one and should be implemented to provide electricity. Solar tree is much better than the traditional solar PV system in area point of view and also more efficient.
