Abstract: An approach is disclosed for assisting a user with configuring an integrated circuit in one or more boards with a customizable construction. A user interface (UI) is provided that allows a user to specify inputs to an apparatus. The apparatus being an enclosure for integrating attachable modular customizable solar energy components and where the components are coupled to the integrated circuit. The apparatus supports connecting user customizable plug and play components to the integrated circuit. Responsive to the user utilizing the UI by specifying inputs, the UI identifies requirements for overcurrent protection elements in the apparatus at a location in the apparatus where an overcurrent protection element meeting the requirements is inserted.
