Hermes Agent plans solar roof layouts with a local model
@HandwerkAiLab reports that a local Hermes Agent recovered roof geometry from a JavaScript app, planned two solar layouts overnight and found space for 20 panels versus a manual draft of 17.

Use [roof geometry and constraints] to propose alternative solar-panel layouts. Explain data-access limitations, document assumptions and flag electrical checks for a qualified professional. Produce planning drafts only; do not treat them as approved designs.

- Reported result
- The poster reports two overnight layouts of 9.30 and 11.62 kWp, a 461V string check, and space for 20 panels versus 17 in the manual draft. These are planning claims, not verified engineering approval or a completed installation.
- Human involvement
- The poster supplied the roof-planning task and compared the result with a manual 17-panel draft. The source does not establish a professional engineering sign-off or permission to install either design.

How the agent did it
- The poster asked a local Hermes Agent running DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash on 3x DGX Spark to plan a solar roof overnight.
- The agent initially said it could not access the 3D roof data because it was inside a JavaScript web app; the follow-up says it subsequently pulled the geometry.
- The agent produced 9.30 and 11.62 kWp layouts and a reported 461V string check.
@HandwerkAiLab asked a locally running Hermes Agent to plan a solar roof overnight. The reported setup used DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash on 3x DGX Spark. The first response was a refusal: the roof geometry was held inside a JavaScript web app that the agent said it could not access.
The poster says the agent later recovered the geometry and completed two layouts by morning. The original post gives capacities of 9.30 and 11.62 kWp and says the agent found space for 20 panels, compared with 17 in the poster's manual draft. A follow-up post explicitly reports a 461V string check.
The attached planning graphic distinguishes the two alternatives: 20 modules with the existing thermal collectors retained, and 25 modules with those collectors removed. The three-panel improvement refers to the comparison between 20 and 17, not to a claim that both layouts contain 20 panels.
This is a firsthand account of adapting after a data-access obstacle and producing physical-system planning artifacts. The capacities, panel counts and voltage check remain the poster's reported results. Neither post establishes an installed system, a measured energy yield, an approved electrical design or independent validation of the recovered geometry.

Frequently asked questions
Which model and hardware were used?
The original post names a local Hermes Agent using DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash on 3x DGX Spark.
What do the two solar layouts represent?
The graphic labels 9.30 kWp as 20 modules with thermal collectors retained and 11.62 kWp as 25 modules with the collectors removed. The manual comparison is 20 versus 17 panels.
Was the solar design professionally approved?
No engineering approval or installation is established. The 461V string check and planning results are reported by the poster, not independently verified.
More details
Remaining steps
- The poster compared the result with a manual draft and reported room for 20 panels rather than 17.
About this account
The agent recovered roof geometry after an initial access obstacle, developed alternative panel layouts and performed a reported string-voltage check during an overnight run.
Firsthand X posts retrieved through FxTwitter on 2026-10-27. The original attachment was visually inspected; follow-up https://x.com/HandwerkAiLab/status/2115094294868672598 explicitly supplies geometry retrieval and the 461V check. Bio describes a German solar craftsman and local-model experiments, with no Nous Research or community affiliation stated; no own-product promotion appears in these posts. Direct X pages returned access denied, so a complete reply-thread review was not possible. Results are self-reported planning outputs, not independent engineering validation. No original task prompt is shared; the prompt is editorially suggested.
