Technical Product Illustrations
Project Type: Technical Illustration & Graphic Design
Organisation: CCL Components
Role: Graphic Designer
Software: Adobe Illustrator
Overview
While working at CCL Components, I developed a library of clean, scalable vector illustrations representing a wide range of renewable energy products, including solar panels, inverters, battery storage systems and energy management equipment.
The illustrations were created to provide the sales team with consistent visual assets that could be incorporated into customer schematics, proposals and technical documentation, helping to simplify complex renewable energy systems through clear, recognisable graphics.
My Approach
Rather than relying on manufacturer imagery or inconsistent product photographs, I recreated each product as a simplified vector illustration using Adobe Illustrator. This created a cohesive icon library that maintained a consistent visual style across multiple manufacturers and product ranges.
Each illustration balanced accuracy with simplicity, ensuring products remained immediately recognisable while being suitable for use at a variety of sizes within diagrams, presentations and customer-facing documentation.
The collection covered numerous components used within solar PV installations, battery storage systems and energy management solutions, enabling sales managers to quickly assemble professional-looking system schematics for customers.
