Solar Trees Added In San Diego Campus

On a San Diego campus, tree like structures have been added to two parking garages, which are solar powered, and appropriately called Solar Trees.

The “Solar Tree” idea is a new racking system that is “native” to San Diego and was developed by Envision CEO Robert Noble. The Solar Tree design was first used at the Solar Grove in Kearny Mesa and now at UCSD. The concept uses biomimicry by developing a solar racking system that also provides additional benefits to the surrounding area. The solar tree system allows for easy installation of an outlet for electric vehicle charging. Other, traditional, pole-mounted systems are similar, but not really geared to shade the area underneath them.
