# Google Solar API – Aerial GeoTIFF Data Layers

> Google Solar API – Aerial GeoTIFF Data Layers is a paid API for AI agents from stable-enrich-git-stableenrich-solar-aerial-merit-systems.vercel.app, paid per call via x402, $0.08/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Returns aerial GeoTIFF data layers (RGB, DSM, and solar flux maps) with imagery date for a given geographic location and radius

## Facts

- Endpoint: GET https://stable-enrich-git-stableenrich-solar-aerial-merit-systems.vercel.app/api/google-maps/solar/data-layers
- Price: $0.08/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown
- Last checked: 2026-09-14
- Activations on Zero: 0
- Tags: x402
- Canonical page: https://www.zero.xyz/c/google-solar-api-aerial-geotiff-data-layers-8d438284
- Structured record (JSON): https://api.zero.xyz/v1/capabilities/cap_cWK_X_0l1eVwUWEUgSaQC

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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-solar-api-aerial-geotiff-data-layers-8d438284
```

Example prompt: Pull the full solar GeoTIFF data layers — RGB, DSM, and flux maps — for the location at latitude 37.4219983, longitude -122.084, using a 100-meter radius, HIGH quality, and 0.25 meter pixel size.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need raw GeoTIFF raster data layers (RGB imagery, digital surface models, solar flux) for a specific location for downstream solar potential analysis, custom visualization, or ML pipelines. Prefer this over the building insights endpoint when you need pixel-level raster data rather than structured roof segment metrics.

## Known failure modes

- Coordinates outside Google Solar API coverage area returns empty or low-quality data
- radiusMeters exceeding 175 returns a validation error
- Requesting HIGH quality for an area with only LOW quality data returns an error if exactQualityRequired is true
- Invalid or out-of-range latitude/longitude values return a 400 bad request
- Network or upstream Google API timeout returns a 5xx error

## How this service works

Google Solar API - Aerial GeoTIFF data layers (rgbUrl, dsmUrl, fluxUrl) with imageryDate

## Output

Returns URLs to GeoTIFF files including an RGB aerial image (rgbUrl), a Digital Surface Model (dsmUrl), and a solar flux map (fluxUrl), along with an imageryDate indicating when the aerial imagery was captured.
