WHAT IS SMART SOLAR?
The Sun has been providing for the Earth since it was formed and it will continue to provide for a long time. Solar technology has improved greatly since its beginning and its time for you to let it provide for you! Our solar PV panels come with a 25 year warranty.
Solar for your home and business is the SMARTEST decision you can make. Anything from full Hot Water to complete power can be accomplished!
1. ADD SOLAR
Ever wondered what it would be like to have your energy provider pay you? When your Solar System produces more energy than is needed the excess flows back into the grid, causing the meter to run backwards, giving you a credit.
2. ADD SAVINGS
Solar electricity can produce your home's entire or partial energy consumption. Taking advantage of solar power means reducing your energy bills and saving YOU money!
3. ADD VALUE
A Solar System install could add upwards of $10,000 to your home's property value instantly! Having a home that can produce its own energy is a MAJOR selling point!
RESIDENTIAL SMART

SOLAR HOT WATER for UNDER $10,000!
Our systems take advantage of the drain-back technology:
Two temperature sensors control the solar system and allow it to operate freely. The Hi-temp sensor is located on the outlet of the collectors (solar panels). The Lo-temp sensor is on the coldest part of the tank.
When the solar collector temperature rises to about 18 degrees hotter than the tank temperature, the collector pump turns on. Water is pumped from the coldest part (the bottom of the tank) through the panels, picking up heat as it goes. The warmed water flows down the return line into the drain back tank. The system will continue to operate until based on the temperature sensors.
At the end of the day when the difference falls bellow 5oF, the controller turns the pump off and all the water drains from the collectors tank. This is also beneficial in that you do not have to drain the system seasonally.

SMART FLOWER
SmartFlower is like no other. You'll never have to choose between beauty and performance again.
Standing as a monument to iconic design, the sculptural form moves throughout the day, dynamically interacting with light and shadow.
How big is a Smartflower solar array?
When the petals are fully extended, the Smartflower is about 16 feet in diameter. The entire structure is about 200 square feet - about the size of a small one-car garage.
How much electricity does each Smartflower unit produce?
A Smartflower typically produces between 3,400 and 6,200 kilowatt-hours (kWh) annually, depending on its location. Sunny climates will produce more electricity than climates receiving less sunlight. On average, a Smartflower system delivers about 4,000kWh annually, which is about half of the average American home's annual electricity consumption.
