Quality solar irradiance data requires accurate measurements and careful processing.  Can you trust your irradiance data? Can you rely on it in your analysis?

EKO Q is the online software service designed to quality control your pyranometer data. It verifies field measurement data and enables you to use it with confidence.

EKO Q is designed to warn you of potential data quality issues early, save you time and prevent wrong conclusions based on the data, so that you can safely trust your measurement data.

How it works:

EKO Q takes irradiance measurement data and uses EKO’s deep knowledge of solar measurements combined with industry standards and best practices in the scientific community to create an actionable data quality report.

 

  • EKO Q carefully analyzes the pyranometer data for signs of common problems, such as data gaps, time misalignment, mistakes in sensor orientation and others. The issues detected are quantified and reported in an actionable manner.

 

  • EKO Q compares the measured irradiance with alternative irradiance data sources, such as reference sensors, leading clear sky models and satellite data. Discrepancies found are reported for further analysis.

 

  • EKO Q cross-compares data measured with multiple sensors on site. Agreement and disagreement of the data are summarised to assess performance of the whole fleet of sensors and derive the most representative datasets.

The analysis is fully automated, simple and intuitive to configure.

What you get:

Automated Quality Check

EKO’s automated protocol uses our expertise in solar irradiance and PV systems to detect sensor, data, or maintenance issues and estimate their impact on KPIs. We cross-check your data with sensor specs, satellite models, or your own sources. Comparing co-located sensors is also supported.

The resulting report is full of actionable insights about your sensor, measurement system, and PV site. See the [example reports] for more details.
