This tech is available to private corporations, and almost to individuals. If you've called a solar company to get an estimate recently, they have full 3-D LIDAR maps of your house from orbit. They can map out the trees down to the branch level and then model how much sunlight will hit a given spot on your roof if you trim them. I was on the phone with a sales rep from LG yesterday and it was a bit surreal: I knew she was looking at a satellite image of my house, so I was like "We're planning to cut that whole branch off the middle tree that's shading the south roof of our house, and we're going to thin the branches of the corner tree" and she could follow along.

Much of this is also available to private citizens on Google Maps too - my home is not visible from the street, so when we were buying it, we used the satellite imagery to determine how big a back yard it had, how much parking was available, roughly how big the decks were, and we could even see the previous owner's patio furniture.
