Abstract
Solar energy is a renewable type, clean, and inexhaustible which is sufficiently available on the Algerian territory. The energy received daily on a horizontal surface of 1 m2 is in the order of 5 kWh over almost the whole Algerian territory; the duration of sunshine surpasses 2000 hours annually and can reach 3900 hours on the highlands and the Sahara. The importance of this work is based on exploiting solar energy to produce electricity. This study is based on the experimental exploitation of solar energy using solar tree’s prototype suggestion. This new model is focused to replace the leaf of a tree by the solar cell, starting by examining the solar field and physical phenomenon related with it; the description of cell photovoltaic comes after; and finally, the dimension of the solar system and the experimental studies are virtually released in the University of M’sila. In this work, a prototype of new artificial solar tree is proposed experimentally by using material available in the local market: 25 solar panels, metal support, electrical queues, regulator, and battery. The results highlight a power improvement in the case of the proposed new model (solar tree) compared to the traditional one provided (solar panel), for the specified time range between 8 am and 2:30 pm. On the other hand, the traditional model values improve if the time dimension is extended from 2:30 pm to 6:00 pm. This is due to the temperature of the region and the presence of interstellar spaces between the cells of the solar tree.
Highlights
In a world that tends towards the exploitation of renewable energy resources, while thinking practically and gradually of the exhaustion of fossil fuels, Algeria is highly called to be up to date because of its natural potential in this field [1,2,3,4,5]
The present research work is based on the experimentation of solar energy using solar tree’s prototype suggestion. This current Photovoltaic energy (PV) type is focused to replace the leaf of a tree by the solar cell, starting by examining the solar field and physical phenomenon related with it, the description of cell photovoltaic comes after and the dimension of the solar system and the experimental studies are virtually released in the University of M’sila
A prototype of an artificial solar tree is addressed by using materials available in the local market: solar cells, metal support, electrical cables, regulator, and battery

This study is based on the experimental exploitation of solar energy using solar tree’s prototype suggestion. A prototype of new artificial solar tree is proposed experimentally by using material available in the local market: 25 solar panels, metal support, electrical queues, regulator, and battery. The traditional model values improve if the time dimension is extended from 2:30 pm to 6:00 pm. This is due to the temperature of the region and the presence of interstellar spaces between the cells of the solar tree
