1.Introduction The main aim to design the Smart Solar Home Management System is to benefit thepeople who fall under middle-income category ("Solar PV Management Software for SolarEnergy Owners and Operators - Breeze", 2017). The design strategy consists of cost benefitmarketing methodology. To store the sunlight and use it in an efficient way for homeapplications, is the major concern of this design interface. Throughout the research on theexisting solar home management systems, some drawbacks will be analyzed. The main drawbackis lack of interface usability of the system. The user could not understand the exact issue of thewebsite clearly.To overcome the design issues, the heuristics design methods will be studied and basedon that approach the two alternatives will be implemented according to the providedrequirements. Among them, the most suitable one will be chosen by evaluating the two designalternatives. For the effective design work, Balsamiq Mockup tool Software will be used. 2.Reason for Developing New Design Concept The technology has been growing very faster in our day-to-day life. We could not seeeven a single person without mobile phones. All smart phone mobile users having the knowledgeof internet access and they know how to use the mobile and web applications. To manage thesolar home systems efficiently, the mobile applications were developed. Even though people areusing many mobile applications to manage the home solar system, they are uncomfortable withthe interface design of the design. They could not interact with the website efficiently. Toovercome these design issues, a new design is required with the user required information. In theinterface design concept, the essential information need to be displayed in the interface such asproduced, stored and consumed solar energy, remaining battery life and the total cost of thesystem, and the user need to be alerted when the life of battery to be lost. To include theseessential information the new interface design concept is required and the application should bevery continent to use by the owner.1

3.Interface Design Concept Two design alternatives are chosen for the implementation of solar home managementsystem such as Tablet view and Mobile View Design concepts. Among them, the “Tablet View”interface design is chosen as the best one. It can be decided by evaluating these designs withHeuristics methods. Alternative Design 1: Tablet ViewAt first, the user or owner should become the member of the portal by registering theirdetails. After login their account, the home page of the application will be displayed. In homepage there will be three different panels such as solar panel, battery panel and the Grid panel. 2
