Kelly and I had a great time hanging out with the Red Tree Builder Team these past two weekends for the AHBA's home tour. We were, also, fortunate enough to learn more about WNC's first SmartFlower installation at Red Tree's latest and coolest construction in North Asheville. The SmartFlower will power approximately 75% of this home for the owners. The plug-in unit is programmed to track the sun during daylight, close up at night and even clean itself. Sweet!
