TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) - Florida State University is looking to help create its own energy.

The university unveiled Tuesday, the new "Smart flower" solar panels that will be placed on campus.

They're the world's first all-in-one solar system.

Instead of a typical rooftop panel, the flowers can track the sun's position throughout the day, making sure to get the best results possible.

Because the smart flowers aren't fixed to your home, they are mobile and can be moved with you, from house to house.
