Google’s Solar Trees

You all heard about Google having its building installed with solar panels to help them cut down on electricity and power costs and in the process also help keep the environment clean. Now, Google has got something new. They call it the Google solar trees.

These Google solar trees are also part of that solar project that started with the solar panels for the company’s offices in California. Google says that their solar trees could actually be able to give them thirty per cent of the needed power for the whole complex.

And what else do trees do? Well, these solar trees also do provide people shelter from both the rain and from the harsh rays of the sun. This is because the trees have been created to give shade. And while they are at that, they are also collecting the much needed power for Google.

You can find these solar trees along Google’s parking lot. Nice, huh?
