Photon Synthese by Vivien Muller

Recharge your mobile phone and camera with usb & universal solar trees charger. 54 tiny photovoltaic panels will store energy in batteries during the day, so you can recharge your items whenever you need them. All cables installed and hidden under the electronic bonsai tray. This object constructed by several modules installed along with a 3.5 jack connector. You can rotate each part individually and create a different form in large quantities. It’s decorative and ecological. [Via]

Solar Forest by Neville Mars

Neville Mars has developed an electric vehicle charging stations which take the form of solar trees. Photovoltaic grove serves dual functions, acting as a go to clean renewable energy sources while providing a shady place to park the cars as they charge.

Individual trees in the forest consists of a series of photovoltaic leaf mounted on a tree branch. There is electrical outlet at the base of each trunk that can be used to charge your electric vehicle. [Via]

Outdoor Solar Lights

Outdoor Solar Lights Explained

Outdoor solar lights uses the identical action to generate power as the solar panels on your ceiling (or that you could set up on your ceiling, if you selected to). Essentially, it applies photovoltaic (PV) cells, which accumulate and switch solar energy into electrical energy. The PV cells apply semiconducting materials to engage the sun’s light, which interacts with the silicon and another components to produce electrical energy. The electrical energy runs over cables which power the battery, which in go powers the light. This is an highly simple explanation, but it will present you the common idea of how solar cells play. They can only make electrical energy from direct sunshine, which is why solar lighting wants a battery in order to be able to light up the dark.

So that the batteries to keep a constant charge, the solar light fixture should be in a position that meets full sunshine for almost of the daylight. If it just gets partial sunlight, because it’s barred by trees or other construction, or because your area has much of cloudy conditions, the batteries will run out earlier, and your fixture will supply light for a lower amount of time. Most outdoor solar lights fixtures own a backup power system which applies rechargeable batteries. Solar lights fixtures which apply a small amount of electrical energy frequently apply small AA Ni-Cad or NiMh batteries. But more strong solar lights fixtures (like head lights) apply a covered lead acid battery.

Photo detectors that automatically evaluate light degrees (like the kind that tells your photographic camera when to apply its flash) are constructed into the solar lights fixtures. They monitor light degrees and turn the fixture off at morning and on at nightfall. But get sure there are no artificial light sources (like a street lights or head light) that may contribute a wrong reading and forbid the light from turning on.

Outdoor solar lights usually utilizes LED bulbs. They apply less power than incandescent bulbs and, with a lifetime of around 20 years, are much longer-lasting. Until lately, solar lights overall has not been as bright as lighting powered straight by direct current electrical energy. But the earliest super bright LEDs can at present illuminate as well as halogen bulbs.

Light Up Your Life With Outdoor Solar Lighting

Executive Summary about Solar Lighting by Simon Harris

Outdoor solar lighting adds to the looks, or curb appeal, of a home. Because there are so many designs and styles of outdoor solar lighting, people can use them anywhere.

How Solar Lights Function

Small photovoltaic cells turn sunlight into solar electricity.

Options for Solar Lights

Some outdoor solar lights turn on when they detect motion. Other solar lights remain on from dusk until dawn.

Disadvantages of Solar Lights

There’s only one common flaw with solar lights.

Benefits of Solar Lights

One of the most talked-about benefits today is the fact that solar lights are an eco-friendly alternative to the traditional, electricity-using outdoor lights. Solar lights are also a fairly inexpensive option in terms of both purchasing and use. Finally, solar lights are easy to install. With traditional outdoor walkway lighting, for example, users needed to dig a trench and bury the wire that connected the lights to the power source. In the end, outdoor solar lighting may be the wave of the future.

10 Uses for Outdoor Solar Lights
Executive Summary about Solar Lighting by Dave Joa

Solar Lighting can be used in many ways

Here are just a few examples of practical applications for outdoor solar lighting:

1.      Solar Accent Lights

For specialist use in the yard or garden these are designed for accent lighting along the edges of driveways, walkways, paths and entrances to homes, garages and other buildings.

2.      Solar Lanterns

Typically these solar light fixtures include many different and unique designs of solar lights to enhance any part of your garden and yard.

3.      Solar Motion Sensor Lights

Because solar lights are easy to install they can be located in those places where traditional lights and the wiring required are a problem.

4.      Solar Spot Lights

Use solar spots to light up any individual objects outside you home such as trees, bushes, a flower bed, statues or even a pond or stream.

5.      Solar Flood Lights

If you want to light a much larger area then solar flood lights will help you to do this.

6.      Solar Sign Lights

7.      Solar Pond and Pool Lights

Today you can now get small solar powered lights in a wide rage of different colors that will float permanently in your pool or pond to giving a dramatic and potentially moving light show all night long.

8.      Solar Flag Light

Just like the solar sign lights there are now specialist lights for lighting the flag on your flag pole if you have one or the whole flag and pole together.

9.      Solar Rope Lights

These are great for creating great lighting effects anywhere in your yard and garden but especially on patios and decks, They can be run along anything such as under a deck railing or around things such as tree trunks and deck posts or hung on buildings or in trees.

10.  Solar Christmas Lights

Yes, you now even get solar Christmas lights for your tree or other features outside and around your home.
