The SunFlower is a device that makes solar energy affordable and accessible to those interested in it. Solar can be expensive and for homeowners it can be a large commitment to cover their roof in solar panels. Thats where the SunFlower comes in. The SunFlower is a portable solar generator that maximizes the panel's efficiency by tracking the movement of the sun over the course of the day. The energy is stored in a battery bank that can be removed and taken with you to charge your devices.
In addition to it's functionality, the SunFlower was designed to look good out in a yard or on a patio. The aesthetic of a sunflower was chosen because of their ability to always face towards the sun.
