Cool looking but I don't think it would make the power they are claiming in my opinion.

There is something similar installed not far from where I live. I have no idea how useful or economical it is, but it looks cool.

IMHO, complete and total BS. I'm not convinced even a single photo is real.

Aliexpress is a GREAT place to get ripped off.

that's really cool, until like a week later when a bird shits on it and the motor breaks ?

I just read the smartflower has a self cleaning feature. It self cleans the panels twice per day.
2.5kw max output.
extimated 6,500kwh/yr
The base Smartflower itself is $39,950 plus installation and shipping charges, and the Smartflower Plus is $65,500 plus shipping and installation. Installation costs vary by difficulty and complexity of each setup, ranging from roughly $3,000 to $7,000

So you better have deep pockets.

damn.. at that price I guess it must work lmao

One of the pictures on the website shows the upper "petal" shading a portion of the active part of the lowest "petal."

Not a confidence builder.

At that price, they should provide guaranteed on-site service within 24 hours with a lifetime warranty.

Yea I wouldn't use it just cuz they have different levels of panels (ignoring the price)
they should have some hydraulic lifters per panel to make them all even
definitely need lifetime warranty for that price
