Holaluz
What did we do?
Holaluz chose to use the Google Solar API as the basis for their solar calculator. This choice was based on the reliability and accuracy of the data provided by Google, as well as its ease of integration and use. The Google Solar API provides data on solar radiation, solar orientation, shade, and other key factors that affect the efficiency of a solar system.
How did we do it?
The development team combined this data with an intuitive and user-friendly interface. Users only had to enter basic information, such as their location and the type of solar system they wanted, and the solar calculator did the rest. It provided detailed estimates of upfront costs, savings over time, and the time needed to recoup the investment. In addition, the tool offered options to explore different configurations and scenarios, allowing users to customize their calculations according to their specific needs.
