• Solar-power generating metal tree with integrated solar panels at Tourism London

  • Solartree.jpgTrees love the sun just as much as we do. They bask in the glory of the sun’s energy to live. Well, here’s a tree that soaks in the sun to produce electricity! The symbol of London’s commitment to embracing green energy, the Forest City tree logo is integrated with twenty seven solar-capturing leaves. This metal tree has been set up at 696 Wellington Rd. S. The tallest solar tree in the world, this metal structure is a piece of art and an electricity generator combined. This tree will help draw visitors to the Tourism London center. Costing $160,000, the 27-leafed tree and adjacent three larger solar panels will produce 10,000 kilowatt hours of energy a year and help offset 10 tons of Co2 emissions annually.


    This tree sure doesn’t need a load of greenery to really be green!
