Widget-Specific Guidelines

Utilities can choose which Oracle Utilities Opower widgets to embed based on their customer experience goals and available data. At a minimum, consider including core widgets such as Bill Comparison, Data Browser, Home Energy Analysis, and Ways to Save to provide a comprehensive view of energy usage, insights, and practical tips for saving energy.

Additionally, when designing your widget experience, consider these principles:

  • Group complementary widgets (for example, bill insights and usage analysis) to create a cohesive experience
  • Place high-value or summary widgets (such as banners or bill insights) on top-level or dashboard pages
  • Use side-by-side layouts for widgets that support comparison or deeper exploration

See individual widget descriptions for detailed guidance, including recommended placement, supported configurations, and customer eligibility.
