Verification method, engineered for scale.

Compare measured energy with an independent expected-energy model. Standards-aligned, portfolio-ready.

IEC 61724-3 IEC 61724-1 Satellite irradiance Meter + inverter compatible

Core evaluation outputs

Short list of standardized indicators used across time windows.

Energy Performance Index (PI)

Measured / expected energy ratio, reported on consistent windows.

KPI
Deviation trends

(M − E) / E tracked monthly, seasonal, annual.

Trend
PR benchmarking

Comparable indicator across systems and portfolios.

Benchmark
Availability-aware views

All-in and in-service indicators where data allows (IEC 61724-3 terminology).

Ops

The method in 8 structured steps

Each step remains consistent across the evaluation window.

Evaluation boundary
Boundary

AC output boundary. Measured energy from revenue-grade meters at POI or inverter AC output. Boundary remains consistent.

Expected energy model
Model

System-specific model with stable parameters. Capacity, tilt, degradation, loss assumptions.

Satellite-derived irradiance
Irradiance

Validated satellite irradiance data. Recognized in IEC 61724-1 for monthly to yearly averaging. Monthly and annual windows ensure stable verification.

Measured energy processing
Data

Time alignment. Completeness validation. Consistent aggregation.

Energy Performance Index
KPI

PI = Measured Energy / Expected Energy PI ≈ 1 → aligned with model PI < 1 → underperformance

Time windows
Windows

Monthly operational baseline. Seasonal / annual long-term evaluation.

Availability
Availability

Separate all-in vs in-service where data allows. Aligned with IEC 61724-3 terminology.

Portfolio consistency
Scale

Same framework across residential, commercial, and utility-scale assets.

Scope of alignment

Sunreport implements energy evaluation methodologies aligned with IEC 61724-3 and consistent with IEC 61724-1 performance principles.

The platform does not provide IEC Class A/B/C certified on-site monitoring systems requiring dedicated irradiance and temperature sensors. It provides infrastructure-light performance verification suitable for distributed assets and portfolio-scale oversight.
