Watch the story about the creation of SmartFlower
SmartFlower was designed by some of Europe’s best engineering minds in 2010 and continues to be built and assembled – one by one and with meticulous care – in Austria.
Founder Alexander Swatek and two co-founders were determined to address the challenges presented by traditional rooftop solar systems and develop a piece of green technology that combined superior function and attractive design.
Arnold Schwarzenegger once said, “Green tech also has to be sexy,” and that’s exactly what the three co-founders accomplished when they sketched the first SmartFlower design on a napkin one evening.
The creation of SmartFlower resulted in complete functionality in a single product – an all-in-one solution – which gives consumers maximum value when it comes to power generation. It’s solar power, beautifully reinvented.
We focus on offering our clients the latest in solar technological innovation, providing an elegant solar solution for homes and businesses that want to make the world a greener place.
