The Solar API builds on the foundation of Project Sunroof, a personalized solar savings estimator for consumers powered by Google Earth imagery. To help accelerate solar adoption and deployment, we launched the Solar API with the goal of helping solar companies give homeowners the information they need to make informed decisions about solar installation. Scaling solar adoption and installationĬlean energy alternatives are essential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and energy insecurity.

These APIs help developers better understand an ever-changing world so they can create new sustainability tools, share actionable insights, and encourage people to adapt to new environmental realities. Today ahead of Google Cloud Next '23, we introduced a new suite of Environment APIs: Solar, Air Quality, and Pollen. Now we’re expanding what developers can do with Google Maps Platform to build experiences that pave the way for a sustainable future. Over the years we’ve evolved what a map can do. Now more than ever, it’s important to continue our efforts to reduce our environmental impact–and we know that we get more done when we move together. When it comes to the environment, we’re at a moment that’s defining a generation and will impact generations to come. To learn more about our new products, join the What's New with Google Maps Platform session tomorrow from 11 - 11:45 a.m.
