Energy made affordable, one appliance at a time.

A consumer-first energy product that lets households pick solar packages by appliance, plus a Sales Agent surface that lets reps move customers from interest to install.

Energy made affordable, one appliance at a time.

Uwana Energy makes solar approachable by letting households pick a package based on the appliances they actually run. The companion Sales Agent surface helps reps qualify, recommend and close, in one tool.

The Problem

Solar pricing is opaque and confusing for households, and field sales agents lacked a focused tool to translate interest into committed installs.

The Goal

Make package selection obvious for households and give agents a focused tool to recommend, prioritise and close.

Mental model

Talked to households and field reps to understand decision points and where deals stall. Found that appliance-based mental models worked far better than kW-based ones.

Pay & review

Frictionless capture and confirmation closes the loop.

Two coordinated surfaces — consumer and sales — ship together, replacing a generic catalogue with a guided, agent-supported buying experience.

Takeaways

The right mental model can replace a calculator. Field tools must be ruthlessly focused — every extra screen costs a sale.

Impact

  1. 01Appliance-based selection replaced confusing kW pricing
  2. 02Sales agents got a focused, on-the-go tool
  3. 03Consumer and sales surfaces aligned around the same logic

What I learned

Designing for the salesperson is as important as designing for the customer. Both must feel the same product.

Next Steps

Expand package coverage, instrument funnel analytics, and iterate on the Sales Agent app based on field telemetry.
