If anyone is using kicad 8.im new to the pcb designs can anyone share which nets should we route first.Like i have Solar panel design.Also in my schematics i have following errors can anyone help to resolve it.i tried searching and removing it but failed to do so.

Can anyone help to solve these schematic errors in kicad 8

The errors you have are on pin functions. A simple rule is that you cannot connect multiple outputs together.
However, they are **simple** rules and do not work nice in most cases.
Therefore I, and most experienced engineers, do not used pin functions. Checking is than a manual activity.

I have diff gnd one solar panel gnd battery gnd and low signal gnd I want to place local gnds in kicad 8 pcb in 2 layer board can anyone share how can I do it.

@sakshi3185_ It's difficult to tell you exactly what's going on without having a look at the specific components involved, but the "output and output are connected" typically means that KiCad believes you've connected two power *sources* together. Tying several GND together (unless they need to be connected to different references) shouldn't be a problem. If the IC doesn't come from the standard KiCad library, but is custom defined, that could the the issue because sometimes people gets confused when defining the type of each pin (e.g., for a typical IC *both* VDD and VSS are power sinks, i.e. *inputs*)
