Features

First thing to familiarize yourself is how the documentation works, we implemented a few unique features to docusaurus (this entire page is based on it),

• The most useful one is Tooltips without links
  Small pop-up boxes that provide additional information when hovering over or clicking on an element.

3-step Quick Start

1. Read the safety bits — Always scan the “Warnings” section first before proceeding with anything.
2. Check the BOM — compare the parts you bought with the project BOM (Solar or Smart-Ag etc.). Get any missing safety gear (fuses, protection PCB, enclosure, safety gloves, glasses) before powering up.
3. Power it up, safely — assemble in a dry workspace, add fuses, connect PV last. Run the basic commissioning tests in the Testing doc.

Safety

  • Gloves
  • Good ventillation (especially when soldering)
