The smartflower s name comes from its design the solar cells are arranged on individual petals that open at the beginning of each day and look like a flower hence solar flower.
Innovative solar panel that looks and acts like a sunflower.
So of course it comes as little surprise that the latest solution for sustainable energy comes in the form of a giant sunflower or rather a solar panel that looks like a giant sunflower.
It follows the theme started with the tesla solar roof launch which is making more aesthetically pleasing solar panels.
As opposed to the static solar panels you may be used to seeing on rooftops or lawns the smartflower much like a sunflower follows the direction of the sun to ensure that it gathers as much sunlight as it can throughout the day.
Much like a real flower the system unfolds its petal panels when the sun rises.
Mimicking this natural phenomenon scientists have now built artificial stems with special materials to support solar cells that can track sunlight like sunflowers.
This smart solar panel system is an all in one self sustaining system that differs greatly from the traditional monocrystalline or polycrystalline rooftop panels.
Smartflower solar produces unique ground mounted solar panel systems that include a sun tracker and a number of other high tech features.
These stem like artificial materials can bend towards light are self regulating and move into the optimal position needed to absorb sun s rays.
The smartflower is a fusion between solar panels and art.
