Ectopanel – Solar panels control mobile app

Task

Our main task was to create a mobile application where people can see installed panels, their statuses and the ability to change panel settings. But, also one of the advantages of the application is that you can sell the accumulated electricity to the government, which is later distributed throughout the district.

Solutions

Analyzing the target audience and the competitor of the service, we realized that in similar applications, users are usually provided with a large amount of data on the panel, but many of them aren’t necessary for the user. Therefore, our solution was to make the display of installed panels, their main data, and settings management as easy and simple as possible:

• Installed panels. We have provided a clear list of installed panels where the user can change the view of the list and filter it. They also indicated two main indicators: battery charge and the amount of accumulated electricity.
• Analytics on the panel. The user can go to the detailed page of the panel to see the status, analytics, system, where the main collection of understandable and necessary information is displayed. We have displayed the data using widgets so that it is convenient and quick for the user to read them.
• Panel control. We have made it possible for the user to control the panel and see all the places where it is installed (for example: roof, garage, etc.). With an interactive overview of the installed panel, the user can quickly change settings and apply them to the panel. This way, the user can get only the necessary information and change the panel settings when needed.

Thus, the user can get only the necessary information and change the panel settings if necessary.
