## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability google-maps-datalayers-get-dee80716
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the Google Maps solar data layers for the area around 37.4450° N, 122.1390° W with a 100-meter radius at the highest quality level available, so I can analyze rooftop solar potential?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need detailed, pixel-level solar irradiance and shading data for a specific geographic location — particularly for rooftop solar feasibility studies, energy modeling, or building solar potential assessments. Prefer this over generic weather or irradiance APIs when you need Google's high-resolution DSM and roof-segment-aware solar flux data tied to real aerial imagery.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or missing latitude/longitude returns a 400 error
- Radius value out of acceptable range returns a 400 error
- No solar data available for the requested location returns a 404 or empty result
- Insufficient quality data at the requested quality level returns an error indicating a lower quality tier should be used
- Missing required API key or authentication returns a 401/403 error
- Quota exceeded returns a 429 rate limit error

## How this service works

Get solar data layers

## Output

Returns URLs to raster image tiles representing solar data layers for the requested area, including annual and monthly solar flux maps, hourly shade maps, a digital surface model (DSM), a mask layer, and an RGB aerial image. Also includes metadata such as imagery date, image dimensions, pixel size, and bounding box of the covered region.
