The ASW-H Series by Solplanet is a new range of connected inverter transforming and delivering reliable solar energy to your home.

AISWEI, previously known as SMA’s Chinese subsidiary, is a renowned manufacturer of high-quality solar energy products. In 2020, they launched their own brand, Solplanet, offering reliable residential and commercial inverters that adhere to German quality standards for the global market. These inverters are designed to be simple, reliable, affordable, and user-friendly, meeting the needs of both individual consumers and businesses alike.

Enhancing Sustainability and User Experience with Solplanet

The Solplanet ASW-H Series inverters are complemented by a new mobile application, enabling users to track their energy consumption and embrace eco-friendly practices with ease. This innovative integration ensures that solar energy management is not only efficient but also accessible and enjoyable for users. The focus on simplicity and sustainability has made the Solplanet ASW-H Series a popular choice among homeowners and businesses looking to reduce their carbon footprint.

Award-Winning Design: Solplanet ASW-H Series

To support their expansion into the American and European markets, AISWEI partnered with Alskar Design Studio to overhaul the brand’s visual identity. The collaboration led to the development of the Solplanet ASW-H Series, which was honored with a prestigious Red Dot Award for Product Design in 2021. This recognition underscores the innovative design and exceptional functionality of the ASW-H Series, setting a new standard for solar energy products.

As part of the Alskar Design Studio team, I had the privilege of contributing to the cover design for this project. My role involved working through all stages of the design process, from ideation to creating visually compelling renderings, as well as delivering conceptual presentations that captured the essence of the product’s innovative features.

REQUIREMENT AND MOODBOARD

In order to create this new cover, we carried out a formal value research in order to define the character of the product :

FORMAL 

Having to do with formal matters, the look ‘n feel must be formal in a dignified, approachable manner.

SERIOUS 

Managing your solar panel output, storing energy, releasing this energy, validate and feeding back to the grid… it’s all a pretty serious matter. The product must look serious to give confidence everything is under control.

MATURE 

Look and feel will support the perception of (German) quality and security.
