solar energy tree Low-poly 3D model

The future of energy production is fusion, but fusion remains years away from even being proven to work. Until then, we must use other means to gain independence from fossil fuels. One way to do this is by using solar power, but large-scale solar plants are often boring and monotonous. One solution is to "plant" solar trees like the one I modeled. Using these trees is not only more visually appealing than traditional installations, it also has multiple properties that make it a better option for ecology and climate. For example, the spacing between panels allows light and rain to reach underneath the installation, allowing plants to grow and flourish there. Additionally, because the trunk is made from local wood, it functions as a carbon storage, reducing CO2 in the air. At the end of its life cycle, components can be easily separated into raw parts and recycled. This tree has been designed for use both in nature and urban areas. The lowest solar cells are placed at a height of 3 meters, allowing cars, cyclists, and pedestrians to pass underneath it. It is also tall enough to allow bushes and plants to grow underneath it. The 3D model comes with the foundation included. It has been designed to be realistically constructed in the real world. The hexagonal solar cells would have to be custom-made or substituted with regular cells. This model is made entirely out of quads and is low-poly. Thanks to its high-quality textures, this model can be used for scenes that require details as well as for scenes where a lower poly count is necessary. The model is render-ready, ready for subdivision, and is PBR.
