Solar Tree Bears Fruit View Articles
Hugh Pickens writes "A prototype solar tree that recently went on display on a busy street in Vienna, Austria has passed a key test by providing light during the night-time even when the sun had been blocked by clouds for four days in a row. The branches of the solar tree were decorated with 10 solar lamps, each one powered by 36 solar cells. The tree included rechargeable batteries and electronic systems to measure the amount of light in the atmosphere and trigger the solar lamps to go on. `Not just trees but other objects could be decorated with solar cells and so keep streets well lit at night time,` said Christina Werner from Cultural Project Management.

We discussed Google`s solar initiative last year."Read more of this story at Slashdot.
