Sunflower Solar Panel Tracker

Smartflower uses advanced robotics and automation to intelligently track the sun making up to 40 more energy than traditional stationary solar panels.

Sunflower solar panel tracker.

The smartest solar solution ever made. What is the smartflower plus. Sunflower arduino solar tracker. The innovative sunflower ii design from rbi solar is not bound by the limitations of other commercial single axis tracker systems.

A flower shaped solar panel array that tracks the sun and is completely po. Accommodating variable slope tolerances and having adjustable row lengths up to 120 modules allows this system the flexibility to adapt to a variety of site conditions that used to impact tracker designs. The smartflower solar flower is an all in one ground mounted solar system with a tracker that follows the sun. Smartflower solar produces unique ground mounted solar panel systems that include a sun tracker and a number of other high tech features.

An austrian company has launched the latest version of their smartflower system. The smartflower plus is the same system with a solar powered integrated battery that can be used to run either a hybrid system or a complete standalone off grid solar system. In addition every day at sunset smartflower will automatically fold up and clean itself to maintain peak solar utilization. The latter type maintains the perfect perpendicular orientation of the solar array to the sun throughout the day for maximum solar exposure.

Let us design a solar tracker using two servo motors a light sensor consisting of four mini photocells and arduino uno board. The smartflower plus comes in two versions which offer either 4 6kwh or 13 8kwh of energy storage with the larger size being very similar in terms of energy storage to the tesla powerwall 2. The focus of this article is the dual axis tracker. With their optimized solar gain dual axis tracking arrays can harvest up to 45 more energy than a non tracking fixed solar array of the same size.

Smartflower is the innovative sculptural solar flower with advanced photovoltaic solar panels that open and close to cleaning itself for maximum efficiency. In modern solar tracking systems the solar panels are fixed on a structure that moves according to the position of the sun.
