The Google Maps Platform Solar API is a service aimed at accelerating the installation of solar and energy systems. The Solar API provides detailed rooftop data based on Google's extensive mapping and computing resources to estimate the potential and savings of rooftop solar installations. However, this information has so far been difficult to obtain for private users as the data is only available in the Google Claude API. This raw data must therefore first be visualized and evaluated.
The aim is to develop a website that enables users to evaluate the photovoltaic potential at their location with little effort. The current state of development and some initial results of the Google Solar Api are presented below.
The annual production per installed kWp output already provides a good initial estimate of the potential of the respective roof area. The orientation, inclination and shading of the roof surface are taken into account.
The calculation of shading in hourly resolution is one of the highlights of the Solar Api. This means that shading can be taken into account quickly and easily during planning. In addition, the local shading of individual panels can be calculated throughout the day.
The PV system shown here was created automatically by Google Solar Api. Even if the panel installation still has some weaknesses, the Solar Api determines the orientation and inclination of the roof surfaces relatively accurately.
