Did you know that Israel public parks are fitted with synthetic solar trees? These solar trees are not only to provide shade from the sun but they are engineered to act as charging stations for cell phones, tablets and other mobile gadgets. This new development is the creation of an Israeli inventor, Michael Lasry, CEO of the company responsible for the solar tree development.

The Author

I developed an interest in the Australian energy and construction sectors more than a decade ago and have since closely followed the trends, technologies and developments shaping both industries. My involvement in the Australian solar market began in 2008, and over the years I have built strong connections with professionals, businesses and organisations across the construction, solar and renewable energy sectors in Australia and internationally. These connections include solar panel and inverter manufacturers, electrical and construction industry professionals, software developers creating tools to quote, monitor and manage solar power systems, and media organisations that closely follow developments across energy, construction and renewable technologies. Today, I continue to contribute as an industry advocate, author and commentator, sharing practical insights and information to help Australian consumers and businesses better understand solar power, energy technologies, construction-related developments and the changing Australian energy landscape.
