The petal arrangement helps the Smartlower POP to make the most of sunlight by tracking the rays from sunrise to diving. Compared to traditional solar panels that can only set a fixed angle, POP Smartlower has an advantage in terms of performance.

The device can also turn off automatically when it detects that the sun has set. Notably, when detecting bad weather such as heavy rain or high wind speed, Smartlower POP has the ability to roll itself. In addition, thanks to the intelligent cleaning system under each battery, the Smartlower POP can self-clean the surface to achieve the best absorption performance.

The device can also turn off automatically when it detects that the sun has set.

Each POP Smartlower system can generate 3,400 to 6,200 kWh per year depending on the region. If the customer has a higher energy demand, the company also provides customized power output enhancements.

When the product first appeared in the Philippines, Pacific Smartwater President, Mr. John McEnroe, hopes the product will attract more customers in the Philippines, where there are many sunny days, convenient to produce energy. green.

John McEnroe affirms: "Smartfolwer is a powerful statement of renewable energy for you, your colleagues, your business partners or your competitors on green commitment, reducing carbon emissions and managing your lips. good school ".

The first POP Smartlower is installed at De La Salle Lipa, an educational facility located about 1 hour from Manila. The current retail price of a set of these products in the Philippines is 17.7 thousand USD (about 403 million VND).

Currently, the Philippines is still a country heavily dependent on fossil fuels for electricity generation. According to the Ministry of Energy, coal power accounts for 48% of the national electricity output in 2016. However, the National Renewable Energy Program is helping the Philippines to make new progress in expanding its supply. "green and clean" power.
