Summary
The primary objective for promoting clean energy in India is sustainable development, improving energy poverty, energy security, access to energy, and mitigate climate change. Solar‐based renewable energy systems are considering as clean energy because of it does not emit any greenhouse gases when producing electricity. The solar tree is a very good example of the integration of various technologies. The study presents the design, development, and validation of a solar tree in the Himalayan region. The solar tree is emerged out as one of the most creative and environmentally friendly solutions in the mountainous region as it overcomes the problem of the scarcity of land. A modular design approach for the solar tree is adopted. The tree design is a nontracking solar tree, equipped with LED lights, multiple USB ports, electrical sockets for charging laptops, mobile phones, electric bicycles, and electric vehicles. It generates 28% more power in comparison to the land‐based system. Its annual electricity generation is 2160 to 2520 units at the rate of 6 to 7 units per day. The factor of safety at a wind speed of 100 km/h and 200 km/h are 6 and 1.52. The photovoltaic energy density improvement and solar energy footprint improvement with the land‐based system during sunny and bright environmental conditions are 42.37% and 39.47%, respectively.
