SmartEnergyTree is a solar and wind powered smart tree with Wi-Fi. It is an energy installation with self-cleaning systems, rainwater collection and irrigation of surrounding plants, Wi-Fi distribution, electric vehicle sockets and many other functions. It is equipped with an anti-vandal self-cleaning honeycomb solar panel made of impact-resistant polycarbonate and a new type of modular wind turbine with air pockets that allows it to rotate even in light winds.
The Smart Tree allows the distribution of Wi-Fi within a radius of 150 meters, charge batteries of electric vehicles and smartphones, information about the time, temperature, and humidity, can broadcast advertisements on a LED display, can heat nearby benches and sidewalks (eliminating ice), can illuminate the installation site, and can conduct video surveillance on the area.
The goal of the project and the tasks it solves are to reduce CO2 emissions into the atmosphere and reduce losses during power outages.
