Solar energy app for Enact: know exactly how solar energy is saving your money
Enact is an AI-enabled asset management platform for solar and battery energy. Its app brings energy use, costs, savings, ROI and all system documents into one place, with real-time data from IoT devices.
Everybody knows the advantages of solar power for ecology and cost-saving, but what about the exact numbers? Signing up for a solar battery is easier when you know you can track expenses, savings, and ROI. Perpetio built the Enact app, which gives owners of small private and commercial solar power units full control over energy expenses and costs.
Enact
Enact is a leading solar and software company operating in 35+ countries, generating over 117 million kWh of renewable energy and more than 48,789 metric tonnes of CO2 offset by solar projects.
The challenge: make renewable energy management simple for everyone
Enact's solar power system is a highly complex product. The app had to bring together a wide range of data and features in a single, easy-to-navigate interface: powerful enough to handle detailed analytics and integrations, yet intuitive even for newcomers.
Track energy use in kWh
Show the cost of energy and money saved so far
Show ROI (return on investment)
Integrate documents such as warranties and installation details
Connect with IoT devices for real-time monitoring
The solution: five clear sections that turn complex data into visuals
Power
Solar energy usage in kWh through color-coded graphs for solar panels, battery, and regular electricity, with a house illustration.
ROI
A graph that shows how much of the initial investment has been paid off, as a percentage.
Lifetime
Total energy generated, money saved, and the equivalent miles driven by an electric vehicle.
Solar graphs
Solar production and consumption data, making it effortless to compare usage patterns.
Savings
A clear overview of cost savings over time through easy-to-grasp graphs.
Site info and documents
Contracts, warranties, hardware information and installer contacts, all stored in the app.
