The system, called GROW.1, was conceived by Samuel Cabot Cochran as part of his Industrial Design thesis project, and was later developed and produced by SMIT (Sustainably Minded Interactive Technology), the Brooklyn-based company. Energy generation device that combines photovoltaics and a flexible piezo generator in a modular system. Each module can produce energy from both sunlight and wind. When you combine these modules, you get an ivy-like system that can adorn an exterior wall of a building or any surface that gets wind and/or sunlight.
