Climate change is a constant threat to the future of our planet.<\/span><\/p>\n

Growens strongly believes in social responsibility and shares the commitment to a better environment every day.<\/span><\/p>\n

Its offices around the world are designed according to advanced <\/span>principles of eco-sustainability<\/b>: in particular, the Cremona office can count on a solar system composed of <\/span>two innovative smart flowers<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The natural energy of the sun does not pollute the environment and is inexhaustible.<\/span><\/p>\n

Smart flowers – an innovative solar system<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

The Group headquarters in Cremona are located on the top floor of the building in via dell’Innovazione Digitale 3, with about 1,000 square meters of well-exposed terraces \u2013 the ideal context for the installation of a<\/span> traditional 45,000 kWh\/year solar plant<\/span> and <\/span>two smart flowers<\/b> capable of producing up to an additional 12,000 kWh\/year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The smart flowers constitute an <\/span>“intelligent” solar energy production system<\/b>: the solar panels automatically move to follow the sun throughout the day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In this way energy production is estimated to <\/span>increase by +40% <\/b>if compared to traditional fixed solar panels (roof- or floor-mounted).<\/span><\/p>\n

Growens’ behavior towards the environment\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n

Saving energy, optimizing resources and offsetting harmful emissions to our planet are an integral part of the way of life and business approach at Growens, which promotes a culture of<\/span> responsible use of environmental resources<\/b> inside the Group and attention to recycling and proper waste disposal, involving all employees in the careful management of separate waste collection.<\/span><\/p>\n

Growens enforces behaviors based on the protection of all energy resources. Business units <\/span>minimize use of paper materials<\/b> for promotional purposes, selected whenever possible from productions in full compliance with international standards that ensure proper forest management.<\/span><\/p>\n

Smart flowers advantages<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Smart Cleaning<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

The system has a self-cleaning technology that kicks in every time it opens and closes. This feature helps reduce solar energy production losses.<\/span><\/p>\n

Smart Cooling<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

Unlike a traditional panel, the flower solar cells are perfectly ventilated and this allows not to accumulate hot air and to produce a greater quantity of electricity.<\/span><\/p>\n

Smart Security\u00a0<\/b><\/h4>\n

This solar system includes wind speed sensors . If wind reaches a dangerous speed for the system, in order to avoid damage, the smart flower will move to the first safety position.<\/span><\/p>\n

If the wind increases even further, the system will close the solar petals in total autonomy.<\/span><\/p>\n

Smart Tracking\u00a0<\/b><\/h4>\n

Smart flowers are designed to move their petal-shaped solar panels both horizontally and vertically. This allows them to perfectly follow the position of the sun, detecting the sun’s rays even when the sky is overcast.<\/span><\/p>\n

In this way, the photovoltaic cells can rotate to always be at a 90\u00b0 position with respect to the sun throughout the day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The result is a +40%bump in energy production if compared with traditional solar panels.<\/span><\/p>\n

Smart Use\u00a0<\/b><\/h4>\n

All-in-one flower solar systems are delivered already assembled, for a quick and easy installation. They take up little space and do not require major maintenance.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wrap Up<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Growens always pays great attention to the environment and day after day it works to minimize its impact on the planet.<\/span><\/p>\n

Providing its Cremona offices with smart flowers is just one of the initiatives aimed at this goal.<\/span><\/p>\n
