@bprintco Interesting you say this. Im literally working on this for commercial solar atm. Tip - nano banana 2 is the best at highlighting features on a sat image, much better than the mainline models
Okay, I'm about to make some of you SMB owners very rich with this post lol
What if I told you... there's a way to have one sales guy do the work of 20.
Let's say you own a roofing, fence, deck, or construction company... did you know that you can buy high resolution same day satellite imagery?
Some of you may know that, roofers especially. The mega roofing companies like Roof Maxx do this, but they pay $35 to $50 PER ROOF to review for storm damage.
They also pay companies a lot of money to monitor hail damage in areas. This is still a clunky method that is very expensive.
Well fuck that... it's 2026 you guys. Now you can do it, but not only that... you can do it MUCH better and MUCH cheaper. Stop wasting your time and money sending dudes on the ground to go property scouting.
This is how you do it...
Buy the satellite data, but not per roof, buy the high res images of entire areas where the storm went through. It's like $500.
Feed that data into Gemini 2.5 Pro. It's the best AI vision model available. Have it scope every property for homes with damage.
Cross reference the flagged properties with parcel data and map a route for your sales guy to go direct to damaged properties only.
BUT WAIT... It gets better...
Vibe code an app that does it. Connect to NOAA and Open-meteo API. It's FREE dude.
1. Set up automated triggers for severe weather.
2. When a weather event is triggered, it calls to the satellite imagery provider API and pulls the images.
3. The images get picked up by Gemini 2.5 Pro and scanned.
4. Properties get flagged and address matched and triggers the next step
5. Nano Banana 2 reads the storm data to generate a specific storm event mailer and triggers the next step.
6. That mailer is sent through API to a Direct Mail provider with SAME DAY service.
7. Mailers hit the mailboxes before the other companies even get out of bed. BONUS is you didn't even have to get out of bed either. It's automatic man.
8. The addresses are batch scheduled and sent to your CRM for your sales rep to hit them directly. He better get up early.
I built this for fun. It works. But I cheaped out my test with Google Satellite imagery because I don't own any of those types of companies man
I'd like my Ferrari to be Red please. Thank You. 🫡
@Rainmaker1973 Fun fact, this was built during the pandemic supply shortages so we bought all the stock fuses from a car manufacturer while they waited on chips.

Elon Musk: SpaceX is building GigaBay to produce 1,000 Starships per year
At GigaBay, SpaceX is massively expanding production and integration to reach an annual output of 1,000 Starships
The structure itself is enormous, by some measures, it will be the largest building on Earth
It’s designed specifically for rapid Starship assembly at unprecedented scale
SpaceX is building two GigaBays, one in Texas and another in Florida, bringing Starship production to the Space Coast
When you see a human next to these buildings, the scale becomes obvious
It’s hard to grasp how massive they are until you do
This is industrial capacity built for one purpose: making life multi-planetary....🚀
