I have a confession; I’m a total lost cause when it comes to recharging my phone, iPod and camera. Three gadgets I can’t leave my home without and somehow, I always leave it till the last moment for recharging! Needless to say, I manage just some amount of power on them and carry their wires with me, and plug them in the next available socket. Dandy, but what do I and others like me do, when we hit the beaches? Carry the Solar Tree of course!
Awesome thought of having a personalized solar-powered pole with sufficient sockets to plug in multiple devices. Hail the Solar Tree!

With all these solar ideas, I’m getting a really strong impression that people don’t actually know how little power you get off these things. You’d be hard-pressed to do much better than keep a gadget at power-usage neutral in standby with a solar panel this small.
And there is absolutely, positively not enough power available to want to waste it on something as stupid as a 12V to 230V inverter whose output is immediately converted back to low-voltage with your device’s plugpack. Those things aren’t designed for efficiency.
The sockets could use a cover. And they should be closer together.
let’s not forget also that batterie life is getting better and better so in the case that you need to recharge your apliences while your’re at the beach is pretty remote
Yea, i could really use one. XD
Good idea, but at least 10x too small solar panel to really power something. 10x10cm would get u 10W with nearly 100% efficiency. Current solar panels, cheap ones, would give u just 1W of power in 10x10cm size.
Go power radio with that. Good luck…
why not an umbrela?????????
I agree with you.
it would be better to adapt parasol.
Seriously!
its a very kewl tools. where can i buy it?
anyway, for yankodesign, do you mind if i re publish your article to my website?
Sure, if you want to look like an idiot too
Not that practical….agreed on the point that MP3 players, phones, etc. have much better battery lives. Why not just charge at home before you leave for the beach and reduce the amount of stuff you have to bring with you?? Good concept, yet it feels forced, as if its only to buy your product rather than solve a problem.
Who writes the copy for this stuff?
“Solar-Tree looks like a cane so that it is easy to stick in sand or soil.”
Are canes the only things that stick in the ground??
if you expand this idea into maybe a sun shade umbrella or tent house with much more surface you could reuse existing spaces for the same means.
1992 Called, they want their tape player back.
220-240V is too dangerous and not working in wet/outdoor conditions without the risk to insure or kill someone. Therefore no use. No authority or insurance will allow to sell these products.
Better off with low voltage adapter for each device.
I aggree with “me” that an Umbrella would give more use by providing shade. I heard of flexible solar cells. Maybe the right way to get them on anything.
But then we could get the solar cells on the radio or mobile itself? and don’t need to recharge?
It’s like Archigram’s Rockplug and LogPlug for the 21st century, though sadly just as unfeasible.
from experience any electronics + sand or salt water = dead electronics. no one takes their phone or let alone a cd player to the beach; if i was at the beach and some git was playing music i would shoot him
LOL!
Do any solar charges exist that work well for a laptop and not cost a fortune? Laptops dying on the road is a real problem…
lol @ How solor wokrs? I don’t know about you guys, but I have a camera, cellphone and ipod that all last more than 10 minutes.
Bad ideea. Is that why you’re going to the beach?
its a great design. It tells any thief where your stuff is.
Apart from the design issues the others have brought up. The final image has a spelling error unless you like to “ten your skin at the beach”.
+1 for umbrella idea perhaps instead of having it mobile it could be used in 5 star hotel sun beds that way the structure could be properly anchored, provide a lot of shade and have a larger surface area. Also its one of those gimmicky things that push a hotel from 4 to 5 stars.
totally love the umbrella idea, those 5 star hotels could really make use of them, as well as those outdoor stands, if they can afford them! we’d b wasting less energy soon!
I loved this revolution, mto is creative, intelligent and beyond all practical and portable. Would love to have one of these.
Intelligence in vein!
This is absolute a cool idea.
Sometimes my cellphone always flat at the beach… sigh… Would like to charge it right there at the beach.
Solar products rocks!! It's a very nice idea. Hope I got one 🙂

This is the 1st time I saw a solar tree and I think this is a good tool for powering up gadgets like iPod and mobile phones.
Did you fine where to buy it?
I am truly thankful to the holder of this web page who has shared

I like reading an article that can make men and women think.
Also, thank you for allowing for me to comment!
It‘s very interesting. How can I get the product?
Got a giggle out of pic #2 with the superimposed Solar Trees by the people on the beach! This must be from a country other than the US, the copy is full of mistakes.
Hi! I could have sworn I’ve been to this website before but after checking through

Great steam showers, my family had a unit installed around five years ago and it could maybe do with modernizing,
never get a bland old standard type of shower ever again
SEO has become a tainted business, because its very technical it
is best done by people who have studied the industry and have experience,
this can be quite rare with modern marketers though
Added a link on Facebook, hope thats okay
Really love each of these steam showers

My brother suggested I may like this web site. He was once entirely right.
This post actually made my day. You can not consider just how much time I had
spent for this info! Thank you!
