We're expanding coverage and insights in our Solar API to help address global energy demand, with residential solar power playing a crucial role in a sustainable future. The Solar API has two significant feature expansions and are looking for trusted testers to provide feedback of their experience of the product.
Leveraging advanced machine learning models, we've significantly increased building data coverage for Solar API. New machine learning models that generate on-nadir RGB, digital surface models (DSMs), and planar roof segments from satellite imagery have expanded coverage of building imagery, unlocking an estimate of 1.9 billion additional buildings around the world.

Detected Arrays is the Solar API new experimental endpoint with data on installed residential rooftop solar panels. This feature is currently available in areas with high-resolution aerial imagery, mainly US, EU, and Japan.
If you are a developer with Solar Installation interests, sign up to be a trusted tester of Solar API Detected Arrays HERE.
