As Paul Jones notes, his new tutorial introducting developers to the Solar application framework has been posted over on php|architect's A/R/T article repository.

The Solar library and application framework can make your development efforts faster, easier, more secure, and more structurally predictable. This article, by Solar's creator Paul M. Jones, talks about the foundational concepts underpinning the technical aspects of the Solar project.

The tutorial covers some background on the project, the installation, a brief mention of naming standards, and code examples (including a sample of construction and configuration).
