Pace University recently unveiled a “Solar Tree” on its Pleasantville campus with the support of Consolidated Edison Company of New York.
The modern-art style e-tree is on the lawn between Elm and Alumni halls and the Kessel Student Center.
The e-tree will provide a shaded resting area with benches that can seat six, Wi-Fi, six USB ports, an interactive LCD display screen, night lighting and a panic button feature. The tree is nearly 15 feet tall and weighs 2,755 pounds. Seven insulated solar panels that can provide 1,400 watts of energy are suspended from its branches.
