Vattenfall
The Suncell Guide
Background
Vattenfall is Sweden’s biggest generator of electricity and producer of heat. They are focusing on renewable power sourcesand and according to them, the sun is ”the next big thing”.
Insight
In a country where the sun comes in limited edition, very few people consider solar panels to be an alternative for their power supply. We had to make more people aware that even though Sweden is a cold and dark country up in the North, it has great potential for solar energy.
Solution
To make The Suncell Guide work we utilized databases, api:s and javascripts and made some serious calculations. The marked-up area in Google Maps shows how many square meters of solar panels Vattenfall can put on your roof while the roof-angles and cardinal directions calculate the amount of sun reaching your roof. When all parameters are in place the tool presents the amount of supplied kWh and the amount of money you’d save every year with solar power. Of course you also get an attractive offer from Vattenfall.
