SenseCAP Solar Node P1 for Meshtastic & LoRa

The Seeed Studio SenseCAP Solar Node P1 is a fully solar-powered outdoor module for Meshtastic and LoRa applications, delivered by default without integrated batteries and GPS. It is ideal as a permanently installed node or repeater to extend the range and stability of LoRa mesh networks. Thanks to the integrated solar cell and weatherproof housing, maintenance-free operation outdoors is possible, even under demanding conditions. For more flexibility, up to 4 standard 18650 Li-Ion batteries with button top can be used to ensure operation even during extended darkness. The Solar Node P1 operates in the 868 MHz band and is fully Meshtastic compatible, making it possible to achieve long radio ranges with very low energy consumption. Due to its robust design, easy mounting options, and energy self-sufficient supply, the device is particularly suitable for use in remote or hard-to-reach areas.
