- **Solar API**

Effective **8 July 2025** , new **EEA-specific Google Maps Platform Terms of Service
(EEA terms)** will impact how you build applications and experiences for users if your project
is linked to an EEA billing account.

We strongly recommend that you read and understand the
[announcement](https://developers.google.com/maps/comms/eea/faq.md.txt), as the details potentially impact your
existing and new applications that integrate Google Maps Platform.

This document describes **usage and Google Maps Platform functionality changes** for the
**Solar API**.

The information described in this document reflects the
[EEA terms
governing your use of Google Maps Platform Services](https://cloud.google.com/terms/maps-platform/eea) as of 8 July 2025,
which may change over time. For the most recent and binding terms applicable to you,
see your Google Maps Platform Agreement with Google.

## Solar API adjustments for EEA customers

These adjustments apply to (a) projects created after 8 July 2025 that
are linked to an account with an EEA billing address,
and/or to (b) projects that are no longer in the
[Unmodified State](https://developers.google.com/maps/comms/eea/faq.md.txt#material-modification)
after 8 July 2025.

The following table summarizes the adjustments, delineated in the
[EEA
Service Specific Terms](https://cloud.google.com/terms/maps-platform/eea/maps-service-terms), for each Google Maps Platform service.

| Solar API Functionality Adjustments | Terms of Service Changes |
|---|---|
| The following fields in [Building Insights](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/solar/building-insights.md.txt) are not available: - `postalCode` - `administrativeArea` - `regionCode` | None |

<br />

## Alternative integrations

The impacted address fields are not essential to the solar qualification
and solar array design use cases, and you should consider continuing to operate
your application without that content.

Should that content be necessary for the functioning of your application,
the [`BuildingInsights`](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/solar/building-insights.md.txt)
method also returns a Place ID in the name field, which can be passed to
Places UI Kit to obtain the details of the Place. For EEA guidance on
using Places content, see
[Places API adjustments for European Economic
Area (EEA) customers](https://developers.google.com/maps/comms/eea/places).
