We were inspired by the urgent need for sustainable living solutions. SunScope was born out of a vision to make renewable energy accessible and manageable for homeowners, contributing to a greener planet.
SunScope is a solar panel analysis tool that calculates the solar potential of homes, providing users with data on expected energy output, cost savings, and environmental impact, making the switch to solar power as transparent and beneficial as possible.
We crafted SunScope's intuitive frontend using React and Vite with TypeScript, leveraging their robust ecosystems to create a responsive and dynamic user experience. For the backend, we implemented Flask to handle data processing and API management, ensuring seamless, efficient server-side operations.
Integrating real-time solar data and weather APIs presented significant challenges, as did ensuring cross-browser compatibility. Optimizing the app for performance and scalability was also a complex task due to the heavy data processing required.
We're proud of developing a fully functional prototype that accurately assesses solar potential. The responsive design and seamless integration of complex APIs stand as testaments to our team's dedication and technical abilities.
Throughout this journey, we've gained deeper insights into renewable energy management and the intricacies of building a full-stack application. We've also enhanced our skills in React, TypeScript, and Flask, and learned to better integrate frontend and backend technologies.
Moving forward, we plan to incorporate machine learning algorithms to predict solar output more accurately and expand our database to cover global locations. We're also exploring partnerships with solar panel providers to offer users end-to-end solutions.
