According to the manufacturer, the (storage) system reaches a degree of private use of up to 100 % (for comparison: a rooftop installation attains an average of only 30 %) and holds the power supply steadier than with a static rooftop installation. Smartflowers are intended for private households, but also for communes, shopping centres, companies, hotels and gastronomy.

Probably the most complex flower petals in the world
Each smartflower consists of twelve petals. At first glance, one such petal does not appear to be anything spectacular. Andreas Winter, Managing Director of Glass Forum: “No manufacturer dared to produce this; we are the only glass processor in the world who accepted this job.” Each petal is 2.1 metres long and has a diameter of 1.2 metres. Winter: “The petals consist of two millimeters thin white glass. Each piece of glass is given a C-cut, after which it is tempered.” And this combination is exactly why this production technology is unparalleled. Winter continues: “We have a vertical processing machine and can then temper, with optimal batch availability; everything is highly automated.” LiSEC currently produces about 1,200 such glass petals in the Glass Forum every year. Winter is not without pride: “The manufacturing runs as if on rails: The quality has just what it takes, we meet delivery dates and rejects are virtually nil. I am happiest about those jobs where LiSEC can show what we are capable of!”
