I was just thinking that it would be cool if there was a <a href="http://www.allsolarp​anels.net" rel="nofollow">solar</a> tree. That would be interesting, and entire tree with leaves of solar collectors, and the trunk is the AC/DC converter box, and then a "root" goes along underground and attaches to the house feeding it the extra electricity. Artistic, pretty, always green, and provides electricity. Neat idea. I just saw this creeping solar ivy last night, and now I find this.

Not that that is bad but if you are looking for energy generaton I am not sure this is the way to go. I would prefer a living green wall to fluttering solar cells, myself.
