# Google Solar API GeoTIFF Layer to Image Converter

> Google Solar API GeoTIFF Layer to Image Converter is a paid API for AI agents from stable-enrich-git-stableenrich-solar-rgb-image-merit-systems.vercel.app, paid per call via x402, $0.05/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-15).

Downloads a Google Solar API GeoTIFF data layer (rgb, dsm, annualFlux, monthlyFlux, hourlyShade, or mask) for a given location or layer ID and returns it as a PNG or JPEG image

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-geotiff-layer-to-image-converter-782989e7
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the monthly solar flux image for January for the building at 37.4220° latitude, -122.0841° longitude, with a 50-meter radius, and return it as a PNG?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to visually render any Google Solar API GeoTIFF data layer as a PNG or JPEG image — either by coordinates (Mode B) or by a known GeoTIFF layer ID (Mode A). Prefer this over raw GeoTIFF downloads when you need a ready-to-display image. It is especially useful for solar energy assessments, rooftop visualization, shade analysis, and building-level solar flux mapping.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required parameters (radiusMeters, layer, format, scale, crop, quality) returns a 400 error
- Invalid latitude/longitude outside valid ranges returns a validation error
- GeoTIFF id not found or expired returns a 404 or upstream error
- month required for hourlyShade in Mode B but omitted causes an error
- Upstream Google Solar API quota exceeded or unavailable returns a 502/503
- Invalid layer enum value returns a 400 error
- Payment not completed (x402) results in a 402 Payment Required response

## How this service works

Google Solar API - Download any GeoTIFF data layer (rgb, dsm, annualFlux, monthlyFlux, hourlyShade, mask) and return it as a PNG/JPEG image. Accepts either a GeoTIFF `id` (Mode A) or `latitude`/`longitude` (Mode B, which resolves the layer URL via dataLayers:get). For monthlyFlux pass `month` (1-12) for a single month, omit for a 4×3 grid. For hourlyShade pass `month` (required in Mode B) and optional `hour` (0-23); omit `hour` for a 6×4 grid.

## Output

A PNG or JPEG image rendered from the requested Google Solar API GeoTIFF data layer. Depending on the layer, this may be a true-color RGB aerial image, a digital surface model heatmap, an annual or monthly solar flux visualization, an hourly shade grid, or a rooftop mask. For monthlyFlux without a month, returns a 4×3 grid; for hourlyShade without an hour, returns a 6×4 grid.
