Customer Case Study · 3D Energy Experience
Power One, a power and energy solutions brand, makes rooftop solar, hybrid inverters, battery storage, online and modular UPS, voltage stabilisers and EV chargers. Customers met them one brochure at a time. HMC built an interactive 3D model that shows all of them working together on a home, a shop, a factory and a fuel station, through a full day, a grid failure and a sizing estimate.
Figures indicative; validated metrics available on request.
Customers bought a UPS or an inverter. Few saw how solar, storage, backup and charging fit together on their own site.
Each product had its own leaflet and spec sheet; the system story was left to the salesperson.
Where solar goes at noon, what the battery does at 7 pm, who pays for the evening peak: hard to explain on paper.
Customers did not see that a correctly sized system carries the site through a grid failure.
Solar and battery sizes and the savings case arrived weeks after the meeting, by spreadsheet.

This is the Power One model as delivered. Drag to turn, scroll or pinch to zoom, tap a label for the product card. Or run the five-step pitch below the model, the way the sales team does.
Select a product to open its card in the model; select a site to switch the building.
Specifications summarised from poweroneups.com; confirm ratings with Power One before quoting. Energy and savings figures in the model are indicative simulations.
Once customers saw the products working together, proposals carried more of the range.

Customers buy more of the range once they see the pieces working together.
A live grid failure makes the case for storage better than any spec sheet.
A browser model goes to dealers, websites and trade shows without an app.
