Electree: A solar tree to charge your Gadgets

Electree is a modern sculpture which just looks like a bonsai and its leaves are small photovoltaic panels.
This electree allows you to recharge your mobile devices without using any other energy than light. In general, an Electree is delivered in the form of modules which you have to assemble to create a tree. So you can produce an infinite number of shapes.



You can model it according to your desire and also you can optimize the orientation of photovoltaic cells to increase its effectiveness. Its structure possess a 27 number of cells with a bulk height of 40cm. Energy produced by the panels during the daylight is saved to a base hidden battery. Once you charge it, the accumulator feeds a USB port.

This is designed by a French designer Vivian Muller. Muller is looking for 400 pre-sales to make Electree a reality. The price is about $370
