The OpenPV website

This is the base repository for the website openpv.de. The website is built using

• React
• Chakra-UI
• Three.js

The whole site is static, reducing the hosting costs as much as possible. The shading simulation happens in the browser, using our npm package simshady.

Setup

If you want to deploy this website locally, you need to follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository and enter it.
2. Make sure that you have node and the node package manager npm installed. Check this by running

   node --version
   npm --version
   

3. Install all required packages from package.json by running

   npm install

4. To build the code and host it in a development environment, run

   npm run dev

   and visit localhost:5173.
