## Quickstart
Ready to install? Use the [Quickstart](https://solarthing.readthedocs.io/en/latest/quickstart/install/index.html)!
## Features
* Supports **multiple types of solar products**.
* Runs reliably **24-7**. Recovers from connection errors and has verbose logging features.
* Fully customizable through JSON (**No programming experience required**).
* Supports CouchDB, InfluxDB, local JSON file, and PVOutput exporting.
* Multiple databases can even be used at the same time!
* Packets are uploaded in parallel to multiple databases at the same time
* Can [report CPU temperature](https://solarthing.readthedocs.io/en/latest/config/file/base-json/request/cpu-temperature.html).
* Runs inside a Docker container
## Viewing Your Data
* Grafana (recommended)
* Use SolarThing Server (with CouchDB) alongside [Wild GraphQL Data Source](https://grafana.com/grafana/plugins/retrodaredevil-wildgraphql-datasource/)
* Documentation: https://solarthing.readthedocs.io/en/latest/quickstart/data/solarthing-server/index.html
* Alternatively, configure SolarThing to upload to InfluxDB for viewing of statistics in Grafana
* [SolarThing Android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.retrodaredevil.solarthing.android)
* SolarThing Android connects directly to CouchDB to display data in a persistent notification
* [PVOutput.org](https://pvoutput.org)
* Upload your data to CouchDB, then let SolarThing upload the data inside your database to PVOutput!
If you are wondering how to set up SolarThing to view your data, you can head here: https://solarthing.readthedocs.io/en/latest/quickstart/data/index.html
## Supported Databases
* CouchDB
* **Recommended** database and best supported database for SolarThing
* Used with [Wild GraphQL Data Source](https://grafana.com/grafana/plugins/retrodaredevil-wildgraphql-datasource/) to view data in Grafana
* Used with SolarThing Android to view data in the Android app
* Used as intermediate storage before data is aggregated and uploaded to PVOutput
* InfluxDB
* Upload statistics to InfluxDB and view them in your visualization tool of choice (Grafana is an option)
* REST API
* With the "post" database, all packets can be posted to a URL endpoint, useful for REST APIs
## Screenshots and Examples
You can get data in [Grafana](https://github.com/grafana/grafana) via **CouchDB+SolarThing Server** or via InfluxDB (InfluxDB not recommended).
Grafana is customizable. Rearrange graphs and make it how you want!
Pre-made Grafana dashboards are coming soon.
