21．（6分） Indian scientists have designed a new device which they hope will solve one of the biggest problems with the u of solar energy. They call the device a solar tree. Solar trees have metal " branches" extending from a tall , central pole at different levels. Each branch holds a photovoltaic (光电的) panel, also called a solar panel. The panels are flat surfaces that collect energy from the sun and turn it into electricity.
Daljit Singh Bedi is the chief scientist at the Council of Scientific and Industrial Rearch, or CSIR , in New Delhi, India. The CSIR laboratories are where the solar tree was designed. Bedi says the shape of the solar tree makes it possible to fit more photovoltaic panels in a space than traditional systems do. "It takes about 4 square meters of space to produce energy which otherwi would have required 4
00 square meters of space," he says.
Scientists believe the energy a solar tree collects will be enough to power five homes. The solar trees will make it easier to provide solar energy for homes in cities, they say. The solar trees will also take less space from farmers in rural areas. And they will collect more energy than normal photovoltaic panels on the tops of buildings, becau their design helps with placement of solar panels in a way that they are expod more to the sun.
