Smartflower POP Your own power generation begins as soon as the sun rises. Smartflower POP is inspired by the shape of a sunflower and automatically unfolds its 18 m2 of solar petals to form a perfect circle. The system is controlled astronomically and moves in two axes, always following the sun until the last rays have faded, and always maintaining an optimal 90-degree angle of incidence. A design of timeless beauty Smartflower POP gives you independence – now and in the future. But this freedom should also satisfy your aesthetic demands. The design comes from GP design partners in Vienna. Smartflower POP is simple, efficient and perfectly formed. Its smart appearance is partly due to the panels of very thin glass, which are toughened yet highly transparent. This innovative glass is long-lived, exceptionally weatherproof and substantially reduces the total weight of the solar modules. This in turn enables the system to follow the path of the sun elegantly and optimises energy use. You can choose the colour of your own solar power plant yourself, from a selection that ranges from bright hues like “Berry” or “Jungle” through to the sophisticated “Pearl” or “Porcelain”. Maximum solar energy Monocrystalline solar cells and intelligent circuitry, which optimises the connection of cells and solar modules across the total area, ensure that the solar energy yield is maximised. Conventional photovoltaic installations are attached to the rigid existing roof and so only face the sun at an ideal angle for a short period. The first all-in-one solar system is different: Smartflower POP produces enough electricity at the beginning and end of the day too, which increases the potential for autonomy significantly. The innovative system delivers clean power from breakfast through to dinner. When the sun goes down, the solar power plant automatically folds itself into the safe position. 174 THE ESSENTIAL COSTA DEL SOL WEBSITE - www.simplymedia-group.com
