What is Smart Flower Solar System?
This is a solar power generation device with a petal-like structure that can rotate and fold, and is installed on the ground. Its petals unfold when the sun rises and it keeps tracking the sun to maximize power generation, and it can automatically retract and fold its petals in the evening.
Types and sizes of smart flower solar panels
(1) Single axis tracking solar flower: This type of photovoltaic flower can only track the sun on one axis, and its solar flower diameter is about 14.5 feet.
(2) Dual-axis tracking PV flower: unlike the single-axis tracking PV flower, it can track the sun in both horizontal and vertical directions at the same time, and its diameter is about 16 feet.
(3) Tri-axis tracking PV flower: this type of PV flower has some more features than the dual-axis PV flower, and its PV flower diameter is about 15.5 feet.
Advantages and disadvantages of smart flower solar panels
Advantages
(1) Resistant to bad weather: When the wind speed reaches 30 mph or when there is bad weather such as hail, the smart flower solar panel will automatically fold the petals to avoid the panel being damaged.
(2) High efficiency: because it tracks the sun, it maximizes the use of sunlight after the sun rises, generating up to 40% more electricity than traditional solar panels;
(3) Natural cooling: due to its special structure, air flowing through the battery petals can have a cooling effect, which can improve power generation efficiency.
(4) Automatic cleaning: If too much dust accumulates on the solar panel, it will reduce the efficiency of solar power system, while the back of the Smart Flower solar panel has a brush-like structure, which cleans the PV panel when it is opened or closed.
Disadvantages
(1) Higher cost: Due to the complex and functional structure of the smart flower solar panel, the installation cost of the PV flower system is high compared to other types of solar systems.
(2) Maintenance requirements: this technology is relatively new for the time being, if there is a malfunction, it is necessary to ask a professional to carry out maintenance, and the difficulty of maintenance is high.
(3) the requirements of the environment: because of the unique structure of the photovoltaic flower, so that it can only be installed on the ground, and the need to take up a larger place, the installation of environmental requirements are high.
Smart flower solar panel installation
Choose a location with sufficient light and more open, build a solid base structure according to the weight of the PV flower, and then assemble and fix it according to the requirements. After the installation is completed, it should be wired correctly to ensure that the connection is strong, and can also install a control system in order to real-time monitoring of the photovoltaic flower. After the installation is completed, it is also necessary to carry out regular inspection and maintenance.
Intelligent flower solar panel power generation
Single-axis tracking photovoltaic flower and dual-axis tracking photovoltaic flower power of about 2.4KW, if the average daily sunshine hours for 4h, then the single-axis tracking photovoltaic flower power generation per day is about 9.6KWh. For the three-axis tracking photovoltaic flower, which has a different type of model, power generation is also not consistent. However, the specific power generation of PV flower is related to the model of solar panel, installation angle, average daily sunshine, etc.
Whether it is worth installing a smart flower solar system?
The first thing to consider is the family’s financial situation, if the budget is not high, installing ordinary solar panels is your best choice. However, if your budget is high and you are also looking for aesthetics, you can consider installing smart flower solar installations. This is because it is your better choice in terms of both efficiency and appearance.
