SenseCAP Solar Node P1 for Meshtastic & LoRa

Note:

SenseCAP Solar Node P1 is cost-effective and lacks the XIAO L76K GPS module and four 18650 batteries. But users can buy and install them independently.

For the model with positioning and batteries, opt for the SenseCAP Solar Node P1 – Pro.

• Efficient Solar Power Supply: Utilizes a 5W solar panel in combination with 4 18650 batteries with a capacity of 3350mAh each. This setup ensures continuous operation even in the absence of sunlight, effectively solving the problem of outdoor power supply.
• Pre-installed Meshtastic Firmware: The device comes pre-flashed with Meshtastic firmware at the factory.
• Precise Positioning and Tracking: Features a built-in XIAO L76K GPS module, enabling high – precision real – time positioning. It supports real – time sharing of location information, providing reliable location assurance for outdoor activities.
