self-cleaning sunflower solar panels generate up to 40% more power
Smartflower
Traditional solar panel designs are those rectangle or square blocks placed on the roofs. With Smartflower, the changes occur with how users can now plant the solar-powered device in their garden or front and backyard and its design that resembles a flower.
The company – which shares the same name of its product – prides Smartflower as a solar solution to cater to one’s sculptural design and intelligent solution needs as it produces clean and sustainable energy for homes, cars, or businesses while looking fun and nature-inspired.

Follow the sun
As the company shares: ‘Sunflowers open, close and follow the sun for optimal energy conversion. We figured solar panels should too.’ Smartflower is an all-in-one solution that is pre-assembled and can be set up in only a few hours. It comes with a single AC cable for household use and may be moved around as needed.
Its open airflow keeps it cool, and when the panels are folded up, the inbuilt brushes sweep away any sediment or debris that has gathered while it was operating. It also follows the sun like a sunflower all day long for optimal energy generation, generating up to 40% more power.

Renewable energy
These solar panels created in the shape of sunflowers provide not just a renewable-energy solution, but also a sculptural elegance. When its continuous monitoring system senses strong winds, its panels automatically close and clean themselves after a storm. Smartflower, according to the brand, will be safe in the event of a fire.
