A PV system configurator for BayWa r.e. AG
The smart solution for homes and commercial premises
"Before switching to TYPO3, our Solution Wall Builder could only be used by one subsidiary, as it was a static application. After the move, all of our international trading subsidiaries can now access the tool and interactively show their customers which products can be combined with each other. A great tool in a highly competitive market! The special requirement of our German colleagues to regularly import products from the shop via a product importer also works smoothly."

With branches in 28 countries and a turnover of almost €2.5 billion, BayWa r.e. is a leading global developer, service provider, PV wholesaler and supplier of energy solutions in the field of renewable energies, actively shaping the future of the energy industry.

Concept, development, communication, multilingual
Challenge
Our customer's existing static Solution Wall was to be replaced by a new solution that could be maintained by the customer: the PV System Configurator. The Solution Walls serve as virtual exhibition walls that showcase various shop products from BayWa r.e. Solarhandel. Selecting a product from the home and commercial storage range generates a display of all matching products.
Solution
The project was composed of three components:
Solution Wall Editor
Vue.js application for creating and managing solution walls.
Here, the editor is integrated into TYPO3 pages as a plugin, retrieves the product, category and wall data via a REST API provided by TYPO3, and uses it to store the created walls.
Solution Wall Viewer
Vue.js application for displaying solution walls. The viewer is integrated into TYPO3 pages as a plugin and obtains its data via REST API.
TYPO3 Backend
The Solution Wall Extension, which provides the API, plugins and data sets, and a product importer that regularly imports products from the OXID shop. Excellent communication within the project team led to a successful completion of the project, and this was achieved under budget.
