The Seeed SenseCAP Solar Node P1 is a budget-friendly Meshtastic communication node for no-network areas, offering core connectivity with optional GPS and button-top 18650 batteries for users who want to expand its capabilities. The Seeed SenseCAP Solar Node P1 is an economical, solar-powered Meshtastic communication node or repeater designed for basic communication needs in areas without network coverage. Compared with the P1-Pro, the P1 does not include a built-in GPS module or the four 18650 batteries, but it still delivers the core communication functions. This makes it a great option for budget-limited projects or applications that don’t require precise location data, such as environmental monitoring or short-range network setups. Users can add their own components if needed — the XIAO L76K GPS module and four button-top 18650 batteries can be purchased and installed separately. If you prefer a version with GPS and batteries already included, choose the SenseCAP Solar Node P1-Pro. Please note: Batteries are not included.
