1. Description of the challenge

Solarwatt is a company specialising in high-quality solar energy solutions. It is a leading provider of photovoltaic systems, including premium solar panels, energy management systems, and battery storage solutions. Solarwatt focuses on delivering sustainable energy independence for households and businesses while prioritising innovation, durability, and environmental responsibility.

Solarwatt was once an explicit manufacturer in Europe but had to cease these operations due to competitive pricing from China. As a result, they transitioned to being a producer. However, they now face significant competition from companies offering cheaper alternatives, often produced using unethical practices like forced labor.

Objective: Solarwatt aims to clarify its unique value proposition compared to its competitors by emphasizing its more sustainable offerings in line with sustainability goals. Students are tasked with focusing on customers and investors who must comply with CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive) requirements. These stakeholders need sufficient information to clearly understand Solarwatt's sustainable edge.
