The buildingInsights endpoint provides insights about the location, dimensions, and solar potential of a building. In particular, you can get information about:

• Solar potential, including solar panel size, annual amount of sunshine, carbon offset factors, and more

• Solar panel position, orientation, and energy production

• Estimated monthly energy bill of optimal solar layout and associated costs and benefits

To learn more about how the Solar API defines solar potential and sunniness, see Solar API Concepts.
