The evolution of Solar PV is Smartflower.

It’s called the Smartflower POP, and it has been received as the brand’s premier product—with good reason. Portable and easily foldable, the solar fixture is an extraordinary example of the combined ideal of maximal performance outcome and minimal user practicality. The device assumes the aesthetically appealing appearance of a robotic sunflower and is applied by way of a highly simplified ground mount installation that takes less than an hour to complete.

The Smartflower’s name comes from its design – the solar cells are arranged on individual petals that open at the beginning of each day. After the sun goes down, the Smartflower’s petals fold up and a self-cleaning process kicks in.In addition to solar cells, the Smartflower system contains a dual-axis tracker that makes it possible for its petals to follow the sun across the sky throughout the day.

The Smart Flower first launched in Europe about 3.5 years ago and is just now makings it way into the U.S. market.There are two versions of the Smartflower available in the U.S., the Smartflower and the Smartflower-Plus.The Smartflower-Plus offers energy storage capabilities via an integrated battery in addition to the standard solar electricity generation that the Smartflower offers.
