Thanks to dual axis sun tracking the fan moves reliably along with the sun throughout the day.
The sunflower solar panel.
Smartflower is the innovative sculptural solar flower with advanced photovoltaic solar panels that open and close to cleaning itself for maximum efficiency.
The panels are flush with the roof meaning all the panels are about 4 or 5 inches off the roof but that 4 or 5 inches are consistent for every panel on the roof.
The world s first 400w residential solar panels.
Assuming their 2 5kw unit produces the same as 4kw of conventional solar pv system the price is effectively 4 81 per watt.
Both types of solar panel installation offer 25 year warranties.
In addition every day at sunset smartflower will automatically fold up and clean itself to maintain peak solar utilization.
The best way to compare solar panel system prices is to determine the cost per watt of electricity generation.
The cost per watt for a smartflower is anywhere from 6 25 to 7 50 with an average price of about 6 75 assuming that it is equivalent to the production of a 4 kw fixed rooftop array.
Smartflower uses advanced robotics and automation to intelligently track the sun making up to 40 more energy than traditional stationary solar panels.
Now let us introduce the smartflower which is a smart solar panel that follows the sun throughout the day.
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.
Smartflower solar produces unique ground mounted solar panel systems that include a sun tracker and a number of other high tech features.
The smartest solar solution ever made.
This set up makes the installation much cheaper and also much easier on the eyes since the solar panels blend in with the roof much better.
After deducting the 26 solar tax credit the price of a sunflower comes down to 7 40 per watt.
