Simplifying Solar Management Through Clear, User-Focused Design
FeanSolar’s platform connects users with affordable solar solutions while making energy usage, payment plans, and system management easy to understand and control. Our redesign focused on clarity, simplicity, and seamless navigation, allowing users to explore plans, calculate energy needs, select inverters, and track payments effortlessly.
Challenge
The original platform had a complex workflow, cluttered interface, and confusing navigation, making it difficult for users to select plans, manage payments, or monitor energy usage. The goal was to reduce friction, improve usability, and deliver a modern, intuitive experience that empowers users to make informed decisions about their solar solutions.
Results
Users could easily calculate energy needs and select suitable inverters.
Streamlined payment options and repayment tracking increased confidence and control.
Organised dashboards and smooth navigation improved overall accessibility and satisfaction.
The platform now feels modern, user-friendly, and empowering — giving users full control of their solar journey.
My Role & Responsibility
As Lead Designer, I crafted FeanSolar’s website and web app, including dashboards and payment flows, focusing on intuitive navigation, clear data, and responsive design for a seamless user experience.
Process
Project Goal:
Designed to eliminate friction in the solar adoption process by helping users easily calculate energy needs, choose the right system, and manage flexible payments with clarity.
Discovery:
I began by aligning with FeanSolar’s business goals and reviewing the existing flow to understand how users currently calculate energy needs, select systems, and manage payments. By analyzing screens, content structure, and user steps, I identified areas where complexity, unclear pricing, and long forms created friction and reduced confidence.s.
User Flow:
I mapped out core user journeys from onboarding and appliance input to inverter recommendations, payment selection, and dashboard tracking. This helped simplify navigation, reduce unnecessary steps, and create a clearer, more guided experience.
Visual Design & UI:
High-fidelity designs introduced a clean, modern interface with clear spacing, consistent components, and strong visual hierarchy. Special attention was given to pricing clarity, payment plans, and energy capacity data to ensure users could understand key information at a glance.
WebApp & Homepage:
Introduces FeanSolar’s value proposition, builds trust, and guides users toward calculating their energy needs or requesting a quote.
Product Pricing Design:
This section helps users explore available solar solutions, compare options, and understand pricing before moving into customization.
Dashboard Design:
The dashboard serves as a central hub where users can track payments, view system details, and monitor request status.
Account Management:
Support access and account settings are designed to be simple, accessible, and easy to manage.
Usability Testing & Iteration:
To validate the clarity and ease of use of the platform, I conducted usability testing on key flows including energy calculation, payment selection, and dashboard navigation. The goal was to ensure users could complete tasks confidently without confusion or support.
How It Was Done
Tested core flows using interactive Figma prototypes
Observed task completion, hesitation points, and errors
Focused on:
Energy calculator clarity
Payment plan understanding
Dashboard readability
