What is this about?
The information that you provide about your system is the basis of all the analysis. It has its own data quality story to tell. EKO Q brings in other sources of data such as irradiance model data.
This section summarises the input data used and highlights important points that may affect the irradiance data analysis.
Why this matters
Solar data analyses use various external data and assumptions based on system location, climate, weather conditions, system size etc. While assumed correct, they all carry their own limitations and uncertainties which may significantly impact results of your analysis. Moreover, critical information about the system is often provided with mistakes and would better be checked.
This section helps you keep an eye on the input data before it impacts the results of your analysis.
How to read the results
Check that location details are accurate and precise. Using 4 decimal points provides enough precision (roughly ± 10 m) for most analyses. The minimum of 2 decimal points (roughly ±1 km) may be still enough for some analyses.
Check that you use quality instrumentation. Thermopyle pyranometer of Class A per ISO 9060:2018 is required for Class A monitoring systems per IEC 61724-1.
