E.ON
Aura App
A mobile app to monitor and operate your private solar energy system.
Year: 2016-2018
Agency: Interone GmbH
My Role: UI Designer / Art Director
I worked on the E.ON Aura App with the Scrum team for about 1 year on the initial product. Later I worked on the second iteration, with the new E.ON CI.
The Challenge
Once a solar system is installed on your roof, it is hard to gain insight in how well it operates until your next energy bill. The E.ON Aura App changes that.
The Target Group
The target group were middle aged to senior home owners. According to our research and testing they would use their Laptop or tablet for more complex tasks and their phone only for notifications or simple check ins.
The Approach
To accomodate the target groups needs we focused on a detail heavy view for the desktop webapp and a more simplified initial view for mobile device native apps.
We provided an easy to consume, modern interface to monitor the user´s current energy production and consumption.
To provide additional benefit for the user we also included additional functions, like notifications and recommendations.
Dashboard
The Dashboard provides all the essential information at one glance.
Production & Consumption
This area shows the level of self-sufficiency of the unit at a first level and more detailed production and consumption values on a second level.
Efficiency & Tipps
The efficiency value is evaluated here, including tipps to improve the result in the future.
Mobile
Of course the same level of information is delivered in the mobile version of the application.
