Solar Tree
A sculptural tree whose leaves are hexagonal solar panels on branching arms, shading a ring of timber benches around a planted trunk on a round paved plinth. Small lamps hang under the panels and uplights ring the plinth, all glowing at night. A plaza centrepiece; seats face outward all round.

Use it
Code for the specimen as it is set up above; it follows your knobs.
import { createAsset } from 'https://gaitkit.com/cdn/solar-tree.mjs';
const solarTree = createAsset();
scene.add(solarTree); // rests on y = 0, front faces +Zimport { useMemo } from 'react';
import { createAsset } from 'https://gaitkit.com/cdn/solar-tree.mjs';
export function SolarTree() {
const model = useMemo(() => createAsset(), []);
return <primitive object={model} />;
}# Import solar-tree.glb (download below). It is a static mesh, one material per colour.
add_child(preload("res://solar-tree.glb").instantiate())// Import solar-tree.glb with glTFast (com.unity.cloud.gltfast).
// Drop it in the scene: 1 unit = 1 metre, +Z is its front.Use the gaitkit MCP server: get_variant({ "id": "solar-tree", "want": "default look" })
then place the result.

| Knob | Type | Values | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|---|
panels | range | 6 to 24, step 1 | 12 | Number of hexagonal solar-panel leaves. 6 is a sparse young tree, 24 a dense canopy. Panels shrink a little when crowded so none overlap. |
color | choice | white timber copper sage | white | Finish of the trunk, branches and panel frames: white (clean modern), timber (warm wood), copper (bronze-orange metal), sage (soft green). |
height | range | 4 to 10, step 0.5 | 6 | Height to the top panel in metres. The canopy and the paved plinth widen with it. |
Presets: copper grove {"color":"copper","panels":18,"height":7} · timber sapling {"color":"timber","panels":7,"height":4.5} · plaza giant {"color":"white","panels":24,"height":10}
