Need a bit of electricity while sitting at the beach enjoying the sun? Want to have solar on-the-go on your next camping trip to power your cell phone? Then you may just be interested in the new Solar-Tree by designers: Jun-Se Kim, Min-Goo Kim & Dong-Eon Kim.

In the form of a stick or cane, the Solar-Tree can be easily and quickly “installed” by sticking it into the sand or the soil. Simply point in the direction of the sun for maximum energy collection, plug in, and you’re good to go! If the ground is particularly solid, digging a hole before installed the tree into the soil may help to anchor it safely in place.

Like most other portable solar power devices, the Solar-Tree collects solar energy and then converts it from 12 volts to 230 volts of electricity so that it can be used to power just about anything. Comes with several plugs so that you can plug in multiple gadgets and devices at the same time (three is the maximum).

The Solar-Tree also comes with an on-board back-up battery so you can collect energy for use after the sun sets. It is rated to charge a variety of electrical devices, including cell phones, spotlights, laptops, fans, televisions, coolers, digital cameras, iPhones, mp3 players, and more. And it purportedly has a lifespan of 20 years!
