Smartflower Intelligent and Efficient Solar SystemA Story by MachinemakerSmartflower moves according to the Sun’s position throughout the day in such a manner that it is always at a right angle with the sun raysSmartflower is a wonderful way to produce all the clean energy we require in our backyard. This innovation is manufactured by Germany based Smartflower Energy Technology GmbH. This innovative all-in-one solar system, which is the first of its kind in the world is developed by the Founder and Managing Partner Alexander Swatek. Smartflower moves according to
the Sun’s position throughout the day in such a manner that it is always at a
right angle with the sun rays. This is true even in cloudy conditions and also
in winter when the Sun is lower on the horizon. So, the efficiency of solar
energy production is very high. The solar modular fan has an area of 18 sq. m.
It has been estimated that 1 year of Smartflower exposure to the Sun generates
about 4,000 kWh of electricity, which can suffice for the yearly consumption of
a 4-person household. The actual energy produced varies from one location to
another. The range is from 3,400 to 6,200 kWh per year. It has
a lower space requirement as compared with a traditional rooftop solar system,
and still, it generates 40% more output than this traditional system. To
install Smartflower, the entire system can be anchored to a position of choice.
It is not complicated to do so. During folding and unfolding, it can easily remove
the accumulated snow or dust deposits. Therefore, loss of energy is minimized
and is up to 5%. If you are on a trip, you can simply remove the four bolts and
take Smartflower with you. Assembly and disassembly of Smartflower are very
simple. Smartflower
has sensors that can measure the wind speed. If the wind speed exceeds 54
km/hr, it automatically folds and assumes a secure position to thereby avoid
potential damage. If the wind speed accelerates to more than 63 km/hr, it folds
further to the secondary security position. This is similar to the night
position. As and when the wind speed falls, the sensors detect the fall, and
Smartflower unfolds itself and returns to the electricity producing tracking
position. Smartflower
has modules that are rear-ventilated. The design is such that it does not allow
accumulation of hot air. The result is that in comparison with rooftop systems,
Smartflower offers 5"10% more output, and it is 10"20 degrees Celsius cooler.
An increment of 10 degrees Celsius implies 5% lesser electricity. In other
words, cooler modules deliver more electricity than hotter modules. What’s
more is that the photovoltaic system is a plug-n-play system like any other
home appliance. It has been observed that 1 hour of Smartflower exposure provides
enough energy for 182 hours of relaxing and reading in LED light, 101 complete
smartphone charges, 14 hours of television watching, or one-time cooking of the
tastiest lasagne in the world. Smartflower
also has a charging station for electric vehicles. It can charge electric cars
and e-bikes up to 22 KW. This is a clear commitment to e-mobility and
sustenance. It also has an off-grid version that has 4.6 kWh storage capacity
and an on-grid version that has 2.3 kWh capacity. If it generates excess electricity,
this can be added to the public network. One of the models of Smartflower has
integrated battery storage that can retain energy and use it on demand. In a
nutshell, Smartflower is the ideal way to minimize the carbon footprint while
not letting go of aesthetics and comfort. About Us THE MACHINE MAKER, an authentic
