Thanks again for the swift reply.
So I set up a packages folder as per Packages in Home Assistant (https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/configuration/packages/). Downloaded your solar.yaml and included packages in my configuration.yaml.
I need to modify my ESPHome DS18B20 temperature sensors to replace your platform: mqtt sensor. However I do not see any of the history graph or status window. Am I missing something. Thanks
