Utatu Opus: a 13 MW solar case, from sunlight to payback
Utatu Opus was seeking investment for 65 rooftop solar systems across Uganda. We designed and animated a proposal that walks investors from the opportunity to the returns.

The challenge
The proposal had to explain a technical project (65 grid-tied 200 kW systems on factories, schools and hospitals) and its projected returns: $10.69M capex, 19.6% ROI, 24.15% IRR and a 7.1-year payback.
Figures like these lose investors when they arrive as a spreadsheet. They needed an order and a clear hierarchy.

Inside the deck
The implementation plan: six workstreams from Q4 2025 to 2030, on one phase grid.
Our approach
-
01
A clear, numbered story
A numbered agenda takes investors from who Utatu is, to the system, to the money, to the ask.
-
02
Financials made scannable
Investor and company roles side by side, key figures set large, and a single-slide summary of size, savings, profit and carbon.
-
03
A rollout you read at a glance
Five phases, from financial close in Q4 2025 to full operation in 2030, set as a clear phase grid.
