Abstract: The SolarBotanic Tree, also known as the Sustainable Tree by SolarBotanic, represents a cutting-edge fusion of renewable energy technology and biomimetic design. Developed to emulate the natural form of a tree, this solar structure integrates advanced thin-film photovoltaic nanotechnology to harness solar energy efficiently in urban and residential environments. In addition to energy generation, it offers features such as integrated battery storage, environmental sensors, and optional electric vehicle (EV) charging capabilities, making it a multifunctional asset for smart cities. This paper explores the design, functionality, and potential applications of the SolarBotanic Tree, evaluating its role in promoting sustainable infrastructure. Comparative insights against traditional solar panels highlight its advantages in terms of spatial efficiency, aesthetics, and public engagement. The study concludes that solar trees like the SolarBotanic Tree have the potential to redefine urban energy landscapes and support broader environmental goals.
Keywords: SolarBotanic tree, Biomimetic design, traditional solar panels.
