Flower-Shaped Solar Panel Now Sold in the U.S.
11th September 2018
When the sun rises in the morning, the SmartFlower automatically unfolds and begins producing energy by setting its petals at a ninety-degree angle. The flower goes “back to sleep” into a folding position at night or whenever high winds make it unsafe to operate.
It does all of this autonomously through GPS-based dual axis tracking. It also boasts a cooling and cleaning system that brushes the back of each panel every time the unit folds and unfolds. Because the SmartFlower is always at an optimal angle to the sun, it can generate 40 percent more energy production than traditional solar.
