Overview#
This section provides a brief explanation of what SunPeek is and how it works.
SunPeek is an open-source software tool for the performance assessment of solar thermal plants, based on the Power Check of ISO 24194. The software is based on Python, but users can also interact with SunPeek via a graphical web interface accessible in your browser (see screenshot above).
SunPeek is implemented as a community tool, aiming to make quality assurance of solar thermal plants accessible to everyone. Hence, you can use the software free of charge, also for commercial use. The goal is to achieve a trusted, harmonized, consistent, high-quality, and well-maintained implementation of ISO 24194 for the solar community.
