An Austrian company Smartflower recently unveiled a unique and innovative solar energy system, which does away with traditional roof-top mounted solar panels. The so-called Smartflower POP system is a 3.2 kW solar power array that is ground-mounted. It gets its name from the folding panels, which close up at night and in strong wind conditions, and automatically unfold again in the morning. The units are available in 8 different colors. The Smartflower features a ...

In the first six months since it was installed, the panels beneath the road have generated over 3,000kwh. This is enough to provide a single-person household with electricity for a year. "If we translate this to an annual yield, we expect more than the 70kwh per square metre per year," says Sten de Wit, spokesman for SolaRoad, which has been developed by a public-private partnership. "We predicted [this] as an upper limit in the laboratory stage. We can therefore conclude that it was a successful first half year." The project took cheap mass-produced solar panels and sandwiched them between layers of glass, silicon rubber and concrete. "This version can have a fire brigade truck of 12 tonnes without any damage," said Arian de Bondt, a director at Ooms Civiel, one of consortium of companies working together on the pilot project.

Been looking at this solar panels on homes technology for the last 10 years, and I think we have a better than Elon Musk's solar roof tiles with the example that I've seen here in this video, and by the looks of it, a whole lot less to put up, maintain and get the benefit from and that all-important payback for your investment (your ROI) for putting these solar panels up...Have a look and let me know what you think?

"As globalization cause countries to use farmlands and forest for industrialization, people who benefit from these lands are affected. We all know that technological advancement is what's causing all of this, but it could also be the solution. Constructing solar panels on slightly on the top of farm crops while taking advantage of the large scale of occupation will not only help preserve the crops but provide energy without removing any property.
