Concept Development
In the initial stages, the design had to adhere closely to numerous specifications set by the Electrical Engineering team, encompassing dimensions, button placements, breaker locations, and more. Balancing stringent NEC and UL standards left little room for design flexibility; nonetheless, our focus remained on crafting a product that embodied the essence of "Goal Zero" while seamlessly integrating into home environments without being overly obtrusive.
