Residents can now add smart flowers to their private gardens to generate solar power and reduce power bills, the Dubai Municipality announced on Wednesday.
The flower, which costs about $18,000 (Dh66,000) to add in a private garden, opens up in the best times of the day to generate electricity.
The civic body launched the first Smart Flower in front of the municipality headquarters.
The flower, which costs about Aed 66,000 to add in a private garden. It opens up in the best times of the day to generate electricity.It features a controller that positions its petals to the sun. Its wind sensors shut the petals down if there's a strong wind. If the wind is coming from a specific direction, the flower will tilt to protect itself.
The solar panels, which are expected to make houses produce their own energy and reduce electricity bills, also have a self-cleaning setting.
The Dubai Municipality has been focusing on renewable energy through adding solar trees and smart palms in most of the public parks and beaches. Smart flowers and solar trees are listed to design the new parks opening soon.
