PowerScout (an AI startup backed by the US Department of Energy) launched the first Facebook Messenger chatbot for residential solar power. Powered by Artificial Intelligence, the PowerScout chatbot can instantly evaluate a home's roof and let the homeowner know how much they can save with solar.

Here's some quick info:

• PowerScout is launching a Messenger chatbot that can instantly estimate a homeowner's potential savings from a rooftop solar system leveraging high resolution digital imagery
• Once a homeowner enters an address, PowerScout instantly evaluates the home using automated computer vision models and produces an estimate of potential savings and quantity of solar panels required
• Homeowners can then use the bot to get quotes from PowerScout's network of local solar installers
• The quotes service is available in 4 states, CA, NY, NJ and MA, and PowerScout can estimate savings in 15 states: AZ, CA, CO, CT, DE, MD, MA, NH, NJ, NM, NY, OR, PA, SC, VT
