The Solar Arch-Class

The Solar arch-class stands over and above all other Solar classes in that it provides functionality needed throughout the entire environment.

Unlike most other classes in Solar, the Solar class is composed entirely of static methods and objects. This means you never need to instantiate a Solar object proper; just include it.

<?php
// after you load the Solar class,
require_once 'Solar.php';

// just call its static methods.
Solar::start('/path/to/config/Solar.config.php');

// **do not** instantiate it (as follows).
$solar = new Solar();
$solar->start('/path/to/config/Solar.config.php');
?>

Once you have loaded the Solar.php file, you can call any of the methods it provides.
