On July 7, 2020, the Moroccan government unveiled a unique solution to a common problem in Marrakesh: a solar panel tree where people can charge their phones for free.

Located in Marrakesh, the solar tree is part of the government's efforts to promote green energy and reduce reliance on traditional power sources.

Photos of people using the solar tree have gone viral online, showcasing the innovative technology in action.

According to reports, there is no limit to the number of devices that can be charged at the solar tree, making it a convenient option for locals and tourists alike.
