The dataLayers endpoint provides detailed solar information for a region surrounding a specified location. The endpoint returns 17 downloadable TIFF files, including:

  • Digital surface model (DSM)

  • RGB composite layer (aerial imagery)

  • A mask layer that identifies the boundaries of the analysis

  • Annual solar flux, or the annual yield of a given surface

  • Monthly solar flux, or the monthly yield of a given surface

  • Hourly shade (24 hours)

For more information about how the Solar API defines flux, see Solar API Concepts.
