The challenge

Buying a power station usually means decoding watt-hours, inverter losses, and conflicting brand claims. Most people either overspend, undersize, or give up and guess.

Our approach

We built Sirius Watts as a quiet guide: ask what you need to power, do the honest math, then show real gear that fits — with an admin side so the catalog can stay current without drama.

The outcome

In about a minute, shoppers get a clear recommendation across Jackery, EcoFlow, Bluetti, Anker, and Renogy — plus scenario shortcuts for camping, RV life, home backup, and more.

What we built

Inside the build

A look at how the project took shape — the decisions, the work, and what visitors feel when they land.

Making the math feel human

The hardest part of this product wasn’t the UI — it was translating battery math into something a tired shopper could trust. We shaped a short flow: tell us your appliances, we’ll estimate capacity and solar with real-world losses included.

Defaults for fridges, CPAPs, laptops, and lights keep the path gentle. Nobody should need a spreadsheet to feel confident.

Matching people to real gear

Once the numbers were clear, we connected them to a living catalog — Jackery, EcoFlow, Bluetti, Anker, Renogy — with the details that actually matter: watt-hours, output, weight, and value.

Best fit and best value sit side by side, so the recommendation feels helpful instead of pushy.

Shortcuts for how people actually live

Not everyone wants to build a list from scratch. We added calm shortcuts for camping, RV and van life, home backup, CPAP and medical use, and off-grid cabins — little doors into the same honest math.

It’s a way to skip the forum rabbit hole and land somewhere useful sooner.

Keeping the catalog honest behind the scenes

Prices and SKUs move. So we built a simple admin side for products, pricing, and recommendations — the quiet machinery that keeps the public tool trustworthy.

That way the calculator can stay useful without a developer ticket every time the market shifts.

A soft landing for first-time visitors

No signup wall. Instant results. Clear next steps. Sirius Watts works when it feels like a favor, not a funnel — useful first, conversion second.

How we shipped it

Build process

1

Discovery

We scoped the calculator, the loss model, brand coverage, and admin needs for a focused mid-tier build.
2

Design

We sketched a three-step path: appliances → clear numbers → what to buy.
3

Build

Then came the calculator logic, catalog matching, scenario guides, and public UI.
4

Admin

We added product and price management so the catalog could stay fresh.
5

Launch

Copy, SEO basics, and a clean handoff finished the story.
