Can you trust your irradiance data?
Quality solar irradiance data for your PV project design, power plant performance monitoring, or research requires accurate measurements with good instruments, along with careful data acquisition and processing.
EKO Q is the online software service that verifies field measurement data and ensures that you can trust it for your analysis. It provides automated quality control and warns you of potential quality issues early — to save you time and prevent wrong conclusions based on inaccurate 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 other issues. Detected issues 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 in the data are summarized to assess the
performance of the entire fleet of sensors and to derive the most
representative datasets.
The analysis is fully automated, intuitive to configure and easy to use.
What you get:
Automated Quality Check
EKO Q automated protocol leverages EKO’s expertise in solar irradiance measurements and PV system operation to detect issues with sensors, data acquisition setup and system maintenance, and to estimate the impact on key performance indicators.
Professional Report
The resulting report is full of insights about your system, as you expect from an expert analyst team. It offers a compact, actionable summary for a quick check and extensive details for a deep dive and investigation.
