Description
**Describe the problem you have/What new integration you would like**
Integrate the built in sensors from this solar battery charge manager for IoT projects
Arduino library at https://github.com/danjulio/MPPT-Solar-Charger
**Please describe your use case for this integration and alternatives you've tried:**
I use this board to manage solar power for my ESP8266 weather station. It can communicate over i2c to report voltage, charge state, etc.
**Additional context**

Research direction
Start with the linked MPPT-Solar-Charger Arduino library and its I2C sensor communication, then review how this repository handles integrations for ESP8266 devices. The work is done when the charger’s built-in readings, including voltage and charge state, are available for the described solar-powered weather-station use case.
