+Use this task to explore how simple numbers and sequences can form the basis of more meaningful feedback tools. You can use the suggested energy formula below, or create your own variation based on a different domain (e.g. athletic recovery, study focus, game performance).
+:::
+
+We can use sequence and data to simulate a basic wellbeing tool that calculates a daily “energy score” based on several lifestyle factors. This program will ask the user to enter scores from 1–10 for a few different areas, then calculate an overall energy level and display a summary message.
+
+
+```txt
+Welcome to your Daily Energy Score
+
+Rate your sleep quality (1–10): 7  
+Rate your mental focus (1–10): 5  
+Rate your physical activity (1–10): 6  
+Rate your stress level (1–10): 3  
+
+Your energy score is: 25 out of 40  
+That’s 62.5%  
+```
+
+You can use this approach to calculate the final result:
+
+```txt
+score = sleep + focus + activity + (10 - stress)
+```
+
+and
+
+```txt
+percentage = (score / 40.0) * 100
+```
+
+Or use an appropriate formula from your field!

+
+For this task you can build on the ideas from the [house drawing](/book/part-1-instructions/1-sequence-and-data/1-tour/02-00-house-drawing) tour. You may also find it useful to read about [drawing in SplashKit](/book/part-1-instructions/1-sequence-and-data/2-trailside/11-2-graphics/#drawing-to-a-window) and [playing sound effects in SplashKit](/book/part-1-instructions/1-sequence-and-data/2-trailside/11-3-audio) for this task.
+
+For this task, you will create a simple **solar panel visualiser** that helps the user understand how much of their power use is covered by solar over the course of a year. You will display a basic bar chart showing:
+
+- Monthly electricity **usage**
+- Monthly **solar production**
+- Any **shortfall** that needs to be purchased from the grid
+
+This is a great example of how data and visual feedback can be combined into a clear, useful display using just basic shapes and colour.
+
+---
+
+### 🧮 How it works
+
+The user will input:
+- Their **monthly electricity usage** in kilowatt hours (kWh)
+- The **size of their solar system** in kW
+
+Your program will then:
+
+- Simulate monthly solar output using a seasonal efficiency curve (approximate Melbourne values):
+
+```txt
+Jan = 1.0 (100%)
+Feb = 0.95
+Mar = 0.85
+Apr = 0.75
+May = 0.60
+Jun = 0.50
+Jul = 0.50
+Aug = 0.60
+Sep = 0.75
+Oct = 0.85
+Nov = 0.95
+Dec = 1.0
+```
+
+- Multiply the solar size by the monthly efficiency and an average output factor (e.g. 4.0 kWh per kW per day × days in month) to get total production
+- Compare solar vs usage
+- Draw three bars for each month:
+- **Blue bar** for usage
+- **Green bar** for solar output
+- **Red bar** only if solar < usage (i.e. unmet demand)
+
+### ✏️ Example
+
+```txt
+Welcome to the Solar Visualiser
+
+Enter your average monthly power usage (kWh): 600  
+Enter your solar system size (kW): 5  
+
+Drawing results...
+```
+
+A window should then open showing 12 months as columns. Each column will have:
+
+- A blue rectangle showing usage
+- A green rectangle showing solar output
+- A red rectangle on top if the user needs to buy extra energy
+
+Make sure you draw at least 3 types of shapes and use calculated values from the user input and seasonal efficiency.
+
+:::caution
+
+Don't focus too much on making it pretty! The key learning here is sequence and data.
