Claude + Satellite Data: Automating Solar Roof Lead Generation
eptwts · x · 2026-08-05
A developer shared an AI system that automates solar installation lead generation, showcasing a highly actionable B2B monetization play.
Workflow:
- Uses Claude Opus 5 and Hermes to scan warehouses and retail buildings in metro areas, filtering for flat roofs over 3,000 m².
- Leverages Google satellite data to measure usable area accurately, subtracts obstacles, and reads flux data to calculate real kWh yield.
- Automatically renders solar panels onto the owner's satellite image and generates a postcard with a QR code (linking to yield reports and site visit scheduling) to mail directly to owners.
Business Model:: A single solar installation ranges from $800k to $5M, meaning closing just one deal covers a year of system retainer fees. The author offers a free guide to build this system for a 'SOLAR' reply.
