Abstract

In partnership with the Alternative Technology Association (ATA), our team developed the groundwork to advance the “Sunulator”, a program ATA designed to analyse feasibility of Australian solar energy initiatives. We provided a set of representative locations and data to be integrated into Sunulator’s programming, necessary to expand its functionality to all Australian states and territories. We then offered interface and function recommendations for Sunulator based on user feedback gathered via interviews and online surveys.
