    For Australians, gathering around large Christmas trees extravagantly decorated with thousands of twinkling lights has become a time-honored tradition. In the city of Sydney, however, a tree is sparking a new festive tradition – one that lights up the night and generates its own power as well. This combination of holiday decor with a display of technological innovation is sure to become a holiday classic. Fusion of solar energy and holiday spirit The tree is unlike any other in that it generates its own electricity. Engineers embedded the tree’s structure with 555 kilowatts of photovoltaic panels. The tree not only powers the lights that are on displays, but it has the capacity to energize nearby community centers and sink power into the electrical grid. The energizing sequence of lights is only visual camouflage; the underlying technology is a renewable and clean power grid that generates energy. The illumination of design and technology The tree’s solar panels situate it in the context of Sydney’s growing Solar Gardens. Solar Gardens are community-centered, large-scale renewable energy solar installations. Solar Gardens are a solar energy alternative to fossil fuel powered energy for our urbanized city. Sydney’s tree is a symbol of the city’s advancing Solar Gardens, of the city’s green energy commitment, and of the city’s growing fossil fuel alternative electricity. Location affects the performance and impact of structures. During the initial design of the solar gardens in association with the Christmas Tree solar, engineers determined the most sustainable and optimal position and alignment to the sun to capture maximum solar radiation. The Christmas tree solar is a perfect demonstration of how renewable technology can successfully blend into locally practiced culture. Renewable energy integrated in public spaces Taking a closer look, one can see and count the hundreds of solar panels integrated into the design of the tree. The solar panels capture sunlight during the day and store it for use at night. They light up the tree and the surrounding area when the sun goes down, and the solar panels contribute to a smooth and efficient technology and pollution-free process. Solar energy for use in daylight There was a challenge in being able to design a Christmas tree look and have all the solar panels required to capture and store maximum sunlight. The challenge was to include functional and efficient solar energy capture, and at the same time, include the design of a Christmas tree. They met the challenge, and their design was eye-catching while efficient in capturing solar energy and a demonstration of artistic design with renewable energy. The answer of the industry and attention of the world Numerous LEDs, powered from the sunlight captured during the day, light up the tree during the night. They light up and project a soft, Christmas festive light. The captivating design and glowing LEDs demonstrate sustainable technology and integrated culture and design. The innovation of this project has gone international as other cities study the Sydney solar tree. Other cities understand the concept of transforming an urban center into an entertainment space that simultaneously creates educational opportunities. Other cities understand the concept of integrating renewable energy into the urban landscape. A new era of solar-powered installation The Sydney tree represents a remarkable innovation that exemplifies the perfect balance between progressive and conservative ideologies. This tree has the potential to radically redefine the purpose of holiday displays since it delivers energy to the city and creates holiday atmosphere. Innovative celebration – future with solar power The solar tree will likely inspire other cities to implement other solar-powered holiday displays. The solar tree has incorporated responsible design into holiday lighting and set the standard for other cities to follow. The solar tree offers a beautiful and responsible design and represents the direction Sydney intends to go.
