The Electree, which costs £283, comes with two
USB cables, one for lower-powered devices such
as smartphones, and one for more juice-hungry

you can arrange the leaves to your liking
So you’ve got a roof covered in solar panels, a

Known as ‘Qi’, after the Eastern philosophy of
energy flow, it uses inductive charging to power
smartphones – although you’ll need a hi-tech
