Development of a Smart Solar Panel Management and Energy Trading Mobile Application

The client faces difficulties in providing users with an intuitive and comprehensive platform to monitor solar panel performance, manage storage Battery data, and facilitate the sale of accumulated excess electricity to the government or local markets. Current solutions are overly complex, lack user-friendly interfaces, and do not support automated energy trading processes, limiting adoption and operational efficiency.

A renewable energy technology company specializing in solar panel installation and energy storage solutions, aiming to empower users with monitoring and energy trading capabilities.

• Design and develop a mobile application enabling users to easily visualize and manage their installed solar panels, with real-time status updates and analytical data.
• Implement functionalities for intuitive control of solar panels, including setting adjustments and system overview with interactive visualization.
• Integrate a streamlined process for users to sell surplus electricity to government or local markets, supporting multiple transaction modes (manual, address sharing, automatic).
• Create onboarding tutorials, hints, and guidance to facilitate user understanding of energy trading and panel management features.
• Improve user engagement and operational efficiency, aiming to enhance the management of stored energy, with the goal of increasing the total amount of energy sold and transferred.

• Display a clear, filterable list of installed solar panels with critical indicators such as battery charge levels and accumulated electricity.
• Provide detailed analytics pages with widgets showing system status, performance data, and energy storage metrics.
• Enable interactive control over individual panels, including location mapping (roof, garage, etc.) and customizable settings.
• Implement an automated energy selling feature allowing users to specify quantity, timing, and market price for automatic transactions.
• Allow manual sale of surplus electricity with real-time market pricing and transaction history.
• Support sharing of panel contact information via email for address-based energy transfer scheduling.
• Include onboarding tutorials, hints, and contextual guidance to educate users about the energy trading process.

• Energy market APIs for real-time pricing and transaction management
• Email service for address sharing and notifications
• Payment gateway for withdrawal and transfer of funds
• User authentication systems

• Scalability to support growing user base and increasing transaction volume
• High performance with minimal latency in data updates and transactions
• Robust security measures to protect user data and financial transactions
• User-friendly interface optimized for quick access and easy navigation
• Reliable onboarding process with tutorials and guidance for new users

The implementation of this system is expected to simplify the management of solar energy storage and enhance the efficiency of energy trading activities. Anticipated outcomes include increased user engagement, higher volumes of surplus energy sold, and a more accessible platform for consumers to participate in green energy markets, ultimately contributing to the broader adoption of renewable energy solutions.
