SolarTech

Powering growth by elevating quality

SolarTech is a UK-based manufacturer of solar products for life and leisure beyond the grid. As its product range expanded, the brand drifted towards technical language at the expense of the experiences it enables, and a lack of discipline resulted in a disjointed, incoherent identity.
400% increase in sales within the first year following rebrand.
In just eight months, a new branded e-commerce site generated 233% more sales than the whole of the previous year.
More desirable positioning that credibly reflects the price point.

Previous brand

SolarTech’s previous brand identity relied heavily on product photography and technical functionality. As the product range grew, inconsistencies in imagery and brand application became more pronounced. Compared with competitors, the brand lacked visual cohesion and shelf presence, risking the confidence of potential customers.

From function to feeling

The core idea

SolarTech’s products power adventure on the move, even in the world’s most off-grid locations. We placed that sense of freedom at the heart of the rebrand through our core idea, “Without boundaries.” A new winged logotype brings this idea to life, symbolising both the source of energy and the freedom it enables.

Consolidation and impact

Product architecture

We rationalised the product range into a cohesive visual system, clarifying distinctions between products and audiences. The packaging was redesigned to provide clearer context and communicate benefits more immediately through a bold, illustrative style – elevating perceived quality and strengthening market differentiation. Excess clutter was removed and replaced with simpler, more useful messaging and iconography.

Elevated everywhere

Brand visibility

The brand’s new aspirational focus now runs through everything. Every touchpoint and detail receives the level of craft required to ensure the brand is perceived with the right degree of quality – from digital experiences and advertising to branded livery and employee apparel.

Client feedback

We’ve seen significant growth in this first year following the rebrand, which is clear evidence that the brand is delivering.”
