Case study · Web solution
Client: Australian solar pump supplier · Type: Web application · Users: their customers, farmers and rural property owners · Launched: October 2026
The challenge
Choosing the right solar pump kit meant working through several sums by hand: bore depth, how high the water has to go, pipe friction and the pressure needed at the outlet. Then all of that had to be matched against sun hours for the customer’s area. Most customers didn’t know these figures, so every enquiry had to be worked through one by one by the supplier’s team.
What I built
1
Customers enter their postcode, water source and site details, and the calculator works out the pumping duty using year-round sun hours for their location.
2
It compares the supplier’s complete kits from four brands and shows the best fits first. New kits appear automatically, and ones that are removed drop out.
3
One click sends the customer’s details and their full sizing to the sales team, so the conversation starts with the facts already worked out.
It sits as a page on the supplier’s online store, and every recommendation leads to a quote request that goes straight to their sales inbox.
The calculator: customers enter their site details, then see matching kits and request a quote.
