Dear Aluija,
Thank you for your inquiry.
With PV*SOL, you can extrude a 3D model of a building based on a map section from Google Maps. Using the Google Solar API, an orthophoto and elevation data for the map section are imported into PV*SOL. How this works is described in our help documentation.
There is also a video tutorial (with English subtitles) that explains this planning method.
To be able to use the Google Solar API data in PV*SOL premium, a valid API key is required, which can be created quickly and easily at Google. A Google account with stored payment information is required.
If you don't yet have an API key, you can still extrude a 3D model of a building based on a map section without the orthophoto and elevation data. We demonstrate this planning method in this video tutorial.
