Solar API coverage

The Solar API provides solar data for hundreds of millions of buildings across the world. Imagery quality can be HIGH, MEDIUM, or LOW.

• HIGH: Solar data was based on high-resolution (e.g., 10cm) DSM data, typically from low-altitude aerial imagery.
• MEDIUM: Solar data was based on medium-resolution (e.g., 25cm) DSM data, typically from high-altitude aerial imagery.
• LOW: Solar data was based on low-resolution (e.g., 50cm or worse) DSM data, typically from satellite imagery.

The Google Maps Platform team is constantly working to improve coverage for our API services. The map below shows where HIGH and MEDIUM quality solar data is available. It does not show where LOW quality solar data is available.
