Ukrinform correspondent was informed about this by Ternopil Mayor Serhii Nadal.

“The SmartFlower installation uses advanced robotics and automation to intelligently track the sun. It produces up to 40% more energy than traditional fixed solar panels. The flower panel begins with the first rays of the sun. Dust and residues on the panel are cleaned with special brushes. “The device rotates at a 90-degree angle to the sun and the petal modules fold up at night or when the sensors detect a strong wind that could damage the device,” Nadal said.

According to him, the nominal capacity of the solar system reaches 2.5 kW, therefore, depending on the weather, it is possible to obtain from 4,000 to 6,200 kilowatts of energy per year. In addition, the indisputable advantage of SmartFlower installations is that they are mobile, meaning the panels can be easily moved to a new location such as a roof, garden or even a car.

As reported by Ukrinform, Ukraine has achieved significant results in the development of renewable energy in recent years. Only at the beginning of 2022 its installed capacity reached 9.5 GW and the amount of investment in the sector reached 12 billion dollars. The pace of development is likely to continue to increase, but due to the war half of renewable energy, power plants are at risk of complete or partial destruction.
