# Solar Powered Tree Chargers The Photonsynthese By Pearl | Published 2008-08-31 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solar-cell-tree-charger-photonsynthese-by-vivien-muller References: [gizmodo](http://gizmodo.com/5043007/photosynthesis-solar-tree-concept-is-the-worlds-best-looking-solar-gadget-charger) & [10ein.blogspot](http://10ein.blogspot.com/2007/07/il-vous-suffit-de-poser-ngligemment-le.html) Vivien Muller’s Photonsynthese is a gadget charger with style! The branches of this bonsai tree shaped charger carry 54 tiny photovoltaic panels to store energy accumulated in a battery during the day. Small devices like cell phones and cameras can then be charged up by plugging in underneath the electronic bonsai tree. The wires are largely hidden which should please neatniks. The clever design goes one step further. The charger is modular with each piece equipped with a 3.5 jack connector. The modules come in different sizes thus allowing the user to customize the shape of the tree. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 49% | Activity: 50% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Solar-powered Gadgets:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop more efficient and stylish solar-powered devices to meet the growing demand for eco-friendly chargers. - **Modular Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the potential of modular designs in various products to offer customizable solutions and enhance user experience. - **Hidden Wire Designs:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create products with hidden wires to cater to the preferences of consumers who value neat and clutter-free aesthetics. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Electronics:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate solar-powered technology into various electronic devices to provide eco-friendly and convenient charging solutions. - **Home Decor:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Combine technology and design to create aesthetically pleasing and functional home decor items that serve practical purposes. - **Renewable Energy:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop innovative solutions to harness solar energy efficiently and promote its adoption in an increasingly eco-conscious world. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Garden-Inspired Smartphone Chargers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-moonlit-desk-garden.md) - [Solar-Powered Floral Garden Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solar-tree-house.md) - [Solar-Powered Oral Care Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/quip-solar-battery-charger.md) - [Solar-Powered Charging Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solar-mars-bot.md) - [Urban Solar Charging Benches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/perovia.md) - [Decorative Device Chargers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tricharge-wireless-charger-concept.md) - [Portable Three-in-One Charging Stations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chargetree-go.md) - [Grid-Connected Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solar-electric-pavilion.md) - [Computer-Inspired Smartphone Chargers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/g4-charger.md)
