IA [released the Solar + BESS demo project](https://demo.ia.io/data/perspective/client/solar-demo/) at SBDD26 today.

Also, @pturmel's updated [Spreadsheet Import Tool with backlink indexing](https://www.automation-pros.com/SpreadsheetImportTool/)has been released to his site.

Both of these resources should be on the Ignition Exchange soon.
