Capstone Project

SolarEase

Problem

Despite rising energy costs and grid instability, individuals and communities struggle to adopt solar microgrids due to a lack of clear guidance and financial clarity.

Approach

The team studied solar adoption barriers, gathered user insights, and identified key features. Through iterative prototyping and usability testing, we refined designs before implementation.

Solution

A user-friendly dashboard with financial evaluation, an AI solar chatbot, and interactive diagrams to guide users in adopting solar power.
