# Solar Trees Streetlights Go Green via Solar Power and LEDs By Going Like Sixty | Published 2007-12-26 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/streetlights-can-go-green-via-solar-power-and-leds References: [metaefficient](http://www.metaefficient.com/leds/solar-trees-may-light-up-europe.html) Here's a great innovation in street lighting: self contained streetlights that are [solar powered](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-sula). **Implications** - These do not require underground wiring at all, which is beneficial when it comes to keeping [installation costs down](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lanova). There are 10 squared solar panels fixed on the top of extended arms that branch out like a tree. These panels charge the built-in batteries which power the [LED lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urban-lighting-innovations). The benefits of using of LEDs is that it emits less pollution since it generates direct lighting. The Solar Powered Tree Chargers is a concept that will help conserve power and make the streets look more interesting and unique in its own way. Stylish and environmentally conscious, these lights are worth installing for any location. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.9/10 - Popularity: 76% | Activity: 64% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Self-contained Streetlights:** Opportunity for companies to develop innovative, cost-effective lighting solutions that reduce reliance on underground wiring. - **Solar-powered Lighting:** Innovative trend driving the adoption of sustainable, renewable energy sources in the lighting industry. - **LED Lighting:** Disruptive technology changing the lighting industry with its energy efficiency and pollution reduction capabilities. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Street Lighting:** Opportunity for companies to adopt solar power and LED lighting to improve energy efficiency and reduce carbon footprint. - **Renewable Energy:** Solar-powered streetlights demonstrate the potential of renewable energy sources to revolutionize traditional energy industries. - **Smart Cities:** Innovative street lighting solutions can contribute to the development of smart cities that prioritize sustainability and energy efficiency. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Wireless Solar-Powered Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solarpowered-lights.md) - [Solar-Powered Floral Garden Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solar-tree-house.md) - [Solar-Powered Smart String Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/govee-outdoor-solar-string-lights.md) - [Modular Urban Light Poles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shift-pro.md) - [Street Lamp Charging Stations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lamppost-ev-charger.md) - [Sunlight-Mimicking Panelled Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunne-lamp.md) - [Stone Waste Street Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pebble-street-light.md) - [Urban Solar Charging Benches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/perovia.md) - [Soil-Powered Light Sources](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soli.md)
