DOE-funded Solar Data Tools were named 2026 Stanford Open-Source Software Prize winners for its impact as open-source research software. Solar Data Tools is a software package that helps photovoltaic (PV) system owners and operators analyze solar power and irradiance data, even when only basic system output data are available. The tool helps users clean, filter, plot, and analyze PV system performance data more quickly, supporting better insight into solar system performance and reliability. This work is funded by IESO and received support from National Laboratory of the Rockies (NLR) through the PVInsight project.
