After deducting the 26 solar tax credit the price of a sunflower comes down to 7 40 per watt.
The sunflower solar panel.
The world s first 400w residential solar panels.
Now let us introduce the smartflower which is a smart solar panel that follows the sun throughout the day.
Smartflower uses advanced robotics and automation to intelligently track the sun making up to 40 more energy than traditional stationary solar panels.
The cost per watt for a smartflower is anywhere from 6 25 to 7 50 with an average price of about 6 75 assuming that it is equivalent to the production of a 4 kw fixed rooftop array.
Smartflower is the innovative sculptural solar flower with advanced photovoltaic solar panels that open and close to cleaning itself for maximum efficiency.
The best way to compare solar panel system prices is to determine the cost per watt of electricity generation.
Smartflower solar produces unique ground mounted solar panel systems that include a sun tracker and a number of other high tech features.
The panels are flush with the roof meaning all the panels are about 4 or 5 inches off the roof but that 4 or 5 inches are consistent for every panel on the roof.
Thanks to dual axis sun tracking the fan moves reliably along with the sun throughout the day.

The smartest solar solution ever made.
In addition every day at sunset smartflower will automatically fold up and clean itself to maintain peak solar utilization.
Set a record of your own with the world s first 400 watt residential solar panels providing more power than ever before from fewer panels on your roof.
Assuming their 2 5kw unit produces the same as 4kw of conventional solar pv system the price is effectively 4 81 per watt.
It directs its solar modular fan with a surface area of 18 m towards the sun and begins producing electricity for you for your hot shower your fresh coffee the breakfast radio.
This set up makes the installation much cheaper and also much easier on the eyes since the solar panels blend in with the roof much better.
