 Visualization Reflection 

 Challenge and selection 

 For some years now I have used the visualization tool , or visual thinking , to understand the   present and future needs of customers with high domestic energy consumption , with limited   space on the roofs . The solutions that I offer to clients are rooftop photovoltaic systems , but   the variables of the solution ( system size , module power , aesthetics , location , and wiring to the   main switch ) completely depend on the client 's vision of their future energy consumption ,   expansion of bedrooms in the house , new heating or air conditioning systems , and many other   elements that could turn the established design , in an insufficient design according to their new   needs . I have used the technique of visualization to find out their plans for the future with a set   of questions or suggestions for discussion to allow the interested family to learn from each   other in the process of defining the scope , limits , key elements , and relationships between   elements to consider when identifying weak points and opportunities for improvements or   solutions . 

 Application 

 I start the process by creating a graph with their last 12 months of electricity consumption , with   this it is possible that they can understand the trends they have in recent months and the   energy environment in which they live . The next step is to locate the available space on the roof   of the house , considering the air conditioners , available pipes for laying cables , and possible   water tanks . A second graph is presented with the generation that can offer different sizes of   photovoltaic systems , depending on the space available on the roof , as well as the   representation of the space that the different solutions of photovoltaic systems would use . If   there is no way to get the models and available area to the roof , I make a model through the   satellite view of Google Maps . Once I have reviewed the models with the clients , it makes it   easier for me to know the habits they have on holidays and in summer . I even like to ask if they   would like to have more climates , a new refrigerator , a new microwave , a new heater , new   computers , or televisions . They serve me as my main points in the initiative for the future   growth of the photovoltaic system . 

 The knowledge of their future consumption habits helps me to present a linear growth of how   it is advisable to acquire those electrical products and the growth of the photovoltaic system(if   required ) to continue paying the minimum amount to the energy supplier . The next step is to   show the variants of the default design and show the views of it from various points ,   emphasizing not to damage the aesthetics of the house . This is achieved with a 3D model made   in SketchUp where it is easy to show the view from the street or the backyard of the house .   There are many customers where the rules of their neighborhood prevent them from displaying   the PV system , but there are also many who are proud to have a PV system and prefer to show   it in the neighborhood at all costs . 

 The next step is the stage of economic graphics , where the prices of the equipment are shown   according to the supplier , so it is easier for customers to understand the return on investment   of their installation , but always emphasizing that the price and quality of equipment they go   hand in hand at all times . Cheaper equipment most of the time does not have the same years of   warranty or high operating efficiency . I get clients to understand this by giving each supplier a   score of 1 to 5 so that they can identify how good the product is offered by the various   suppliers and thus make the best decision according to their needs together . Where 1 is the   supplier that offers the lowest quality products at a high price , 5 is a supplier that offers high- quality products at high prices , and 3 is a supplier that offers a product with average quality at   low prices . 

 Insight & Approach 

 I 've learned to perform this exercise with many clients is that many are not well defined its   future consumption , which is why that questions how are your electronics today works to raise   awareness of how long to live them to these products and how long it is necessary to change it   or add more if you want an expansion of the house either in a new room or a pool with   integrated heating . 

 The modeling of the system according to the available space works as a starting point about the   maximum number of possible photovoltaic modules to install . I must clarify that this initial   model is never used as a final model since once seen by the client , comments that lead to a   new design always arise . 

 It is important to carry a power generation graph together with each design modification ,   likewise , the client can see what repercussions each decision has with the energy that the   system can deliver . Personally , this is the simplest part of the process since normally the client   trusts the recommendations made by the engineers behind the model presented . 

 The most important part for clients is obviously the financial part . This decision is simplified by   having as visual support the rating of each supplier according to its price and product quality .   Over the years I have seen an average in terms of the rating chosen by customers , who usually   focus on providers of ratings 3 and 4 , considering the price and quality of the products .
