> [!NOTE]
> If your billing address is in the European Economic Area, effective on 8 July 2025, the [Google
> Maps Platform EEA Terms of Service](https://cloud.google.com/terms/maps-platform/eea) will apply to your use of the Services. [Learn more](https://developers.google.com/maps/comms/eea/faq.md.txt). In addition, certain content from the Solar API will no longer be returned. [Learn more](https://developers.google.com/maps/comms/eea/solar.md.txt).

The Solar API provides solar data for hundreds of millions of buildings
across the world. [Imagery
quality](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/solar/reference/rest/v1/dataLayers#imageryquality)
can be `HIGH`, `MEDIUM`, `BASE`.

- **`HIGH`:** Solar data is derived from aerial imagery captured at low-altitude and processed at 0.1 m/pixel.
- **`MEDIUM`:** Solar data is derived from enhanced aerial imagery captured at high-altitude and processed at 0.25 m/pixel.
- **`BASE`:** Solar data is derived from enhanced satellite imagery processed at 0.25 m/pixel.

The Google Maps Platform team is constantly working to improve coverage for our
API services. This interactive map shows where `HIGH`, `MEDIUM`, and `BASE`
quality solar data is available.

The coverage map also shows where
[detected arrays](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/solar/reference/rest/v1/buildingInsights/findClosest.md.txt#detectedarrays)
data is available.

Latitude and longitude coordinates can be obtained using other Google Maps
Platform APIs, such as the [Geocoding API](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/geocoding) or the
[Places API (New)](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/places/web-service). Coordinates
can also be extracted from maps created using the [Maps Javascript
API](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript). For example, see [Getting Lat/Lng from a
Click Event](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/event-click-latlng).

Drag the map to show a specific area, then zoom in for a detailed view.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** The data shown here is an **approximation** of the exact coverage. You may encounter a 404 error in certain areas (for example, near country borders) even when the area appears to be covered on the map. For information on coverage updates, see the Solar API [Release
> Notes](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/solar/release-notes).
