Experience It Live

This isn't just a chatbot script. It's a context-aware AI that understands solar energy. Try asking it complex questions like:

  • "How much would solar panels cost for a 2,000 sqft home?"
  • "What's the difference between monocrystalline and polycrystalline panels?"
  • "How long until solar panels pay for themselves?"

Note: In this demo, the AI is configured for a generic solar installation company in the US.
