Powertree: The Solar Tree Revolution That Lit Up Shark Tank India
That’s Powertree, the innovative startup that recently stole the spotlight on Shark Tank India with its eco-smart solar trees.
What Is Powertree?
Powertree is an urban renewable energy startup that creates solar tree structures — intelligent, space-saving alternatives to traditional rooftop or ground-mounted solar panels. These tree-shaped installations come with solar panels that rotate with the sun to maximize efficiency.
They’re perfect for:
- Parking lots
- Public gardens
- City medians
- EV charging stations
- Rooftops and commercial campuses
Powertree’s Pitch on Shark Tank India
The founder of Powertree, Shani Pandya, walked into Shark Tank India with a bold pitch and a big vision: a future where cities across India bloom with solar-powered trees. He asked for ₹1.5 crore in exchange for 2.5% equity.
Highlights from the pitch:
- The solar trees move like sunflowers to follow sunlight
- Built using recycled plastic and eco-friendly materials
- Designed to support EV charging, lighting, and urban greening
- Backed by 18 patents, including 7 already granted
How Powertree Is Changing Urban India
Powertree is solving multiple problems with one idea:
- Lack of space in cities for renewable energy infrastructure
- Plastic waste, by incorporating recycled tiles in their structures
- EV infrastructure gaps, with solar charging stations for electric vehicles
- Sustainability awareness, through visually engaging public installations
With projects already installed in Gandhinagar Smart City and other civic zones, Powertree is expanding fast.
Future Potential and Vision
India is aiming to achieve 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030, and Powertree wants to be part of that green revolution.
The startup plans to:
- Launch solar pergolas for homes and offices
- Expand EV solar carports across metros
- Collaborate with smart cities and governments
- Take its patented solar solutions global
With the right funding and partnerships, Powertree could become a key player in India’s sustainable future.
