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 is based on high-resolution (e.g., 10cm) DSM data, typically from low-altitude aerial imagery.MEDIUM
: Solar data is based on medium-resolution (e.g., 25cm) DSM data, typically from high-altitude aerial imagery.LOW
: Solar data is based on low-resolution (e.g., 30 cm or worse) DSM data, typically from satellite imagery.
The Google Maps Platform team is constantly working to improve coverage for our
API services. This interactive map shows where HIGH
and MEDIUM
quality solar
data is available. It does not show where LOW
quality solar data is available.
Latitude and longitude coordinates can be obtained using other Google Maps Platform APIs, such as the Geocoding API or the Places API. Coordinates can also be extracted from maps created using the Maps Javascript API. For example, see Getting Lat Lng from a Click Event.
