Solar Tree: Cool Product, Dumb Name
By Carl Weiss
Despite the glaring need for a more creative, interesting name, the Solar Tree is a great solution for all you casual green enthusiasts that aren’t keen on fully converting your home to solar power. Throw it in your backyard, unfold it to get a little r & r in the shade, and harness the power of the sun to provide electricity to your home. The Solar Tree was designed by Gurdeep Sandhu. No word on power specs or price yet, but the device does provide 16 square meters of shade–much more than the traditional “solar” tree. Looks like a promising product in a green-crazy world. And just wait until you’re trendy green friend comes over and tries to show off her recycled sweater. Check and mate. [slippery brick]
