SunPeek is an open-source tool for performance assessment and monitoring of solar thermal plants based on real operational data. It provides the first open-source implementation of the ISO 24194 Power Check — a standardized procedure that compares measured and expected power output to verify whether a collector field performs as intended.

SunPeek is available both as a Python library and as a browser-based web application (see screenshot above), and is designed to handle real-world data challenges such as sensor failures, data gaps, and diverse plant configurations.

As a community-driven reference implementation of ISO 24194, SunPeek aims to make quality assurance of solar thermal plants accessible to everyone — free of charge, including for commercial use.
