Claim:
1. Method for validating solar altitude dependent measured values of several measurement channels comprising: storing at least maximal values of the measured values of the measurement channels taking into consideration a corresponding solar altitude; calculating and storing stored ratios, wherein each of the stored ratios is a ratio of a first value of the measured values of each measurement channel for each solar altitude to a sum of second measured values of other measurement channels; determining an expected ratio by calculating a frequency distribution over all of the stored ratios; calculating a current ratio of a first currently measured value for a corresponding measurement channel to second currently measured values of the other corresponding measurement channels; validating the first currently measured value, wherein in which the measured values, first currently measured value, and second currently measured values result from measurements of the photovoltaic power plant; and wherein the photovoltaic power plant comprises
