The direct customer was the Group Essor Construction. They were competing with other construction companies to build the future Regional Headquarter of Enedis in the south west of France. They loved the strong and universal values conveyed by the eTree: - generosity; - respect for the environment; - communication and sharing. In addition, they thought it allows Enedis to symbolise the fact that the roof of their new building was full of solar panel and that the construction was low carbon one. The issue was that you can't figure that out from the outside of the Building. So they offered this extraordinary communication platform to promote a responsible image through this totally autonomous, sustainable and “zero carbon” innovation. Essor said, they won this bid thanks to the eTree !
eTree was used as a communication tool, which is key for brands like Enedis, but no ROI can be calculated. The visitor and employee of this Enedis Headquarter benefits from wifi, phone charging, place to discuss under the shadow of the eTree. All of the services are given at zero carbon.
eTree captures solar energy during the day thanks to its 7 glass solar panels, stores it in batteries at the foot of the eTree and offers a unique quantity of services night & day. The solution is also an extraordinary communication platform for brands and organizations wishing to promote a responsible image through this totally autonomous, sustainable and “zero carbon” innovation. eTree is the first solar tree that offers so many services to the public: • Smartphone charging station; • Filtered and fresh water; • WIFI ; • Night lighting; • Rest area ; • Shadow ; • Inflation or charging station for bikes and electric scooters; • Defibrillator; • Detection and monitoring tools.
