SenseCAP Solar Node P1-Pro for Meshtastic

The Seeed SenseCAP Solar Node P1-Pro is a solar-powered Meshtastic communication node with LoRa, GPS and low-power operation — perfect for long-range connectivity in outdoor, off-grid areas.

The Seeed SenseCAP Solar Node P1-Pro for Meshtastic is a solar-powered communication node designed for use in areas without network coverage. It integrates the XIAO nRF52840 Plus as the main controller, the Wio-SX1262 LoRa module, and the XIAO L76K GPS module for precise positioning. With its built-in battery, the P1-Pro supports long-distance communication, GPS tracking and low-power operation, making it ideal for extending network coverage in outdoor environments. We also sell the SenseCAP Solar Node P1 for Meshtastic which does not include the built-in GPS or the batteries.

Features

* 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.

* The device comes pre-flashed with Meshtastic firmware at the factory.

* 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.

* Equipped with a Grove Ecosystem (The list of supported sensors is provided below.), it is convenient to connect various sensors, such as temperature and humidity sensors. This meets diverse monitoring needs and enables easy functional expansion.

* It is suitable for long-term outdoor use.

* The communication range between the two devices can reach 8-9KM in open areas. It can seamlessly integrate into the Meshtastic ecosystem and be used as an outdoor node or repeater to easily expand the Mesh network, enhancing network coverage.

* Accessory Options If you need an antenna with higher gain, we recommend the 860-930MHz 3dBi fibreglass antenna and the 902-928MHz 5.8dBi fibreglass antenna.

* Plug-and-play: Comes with a standard RF cable, which can be directly inserted into the pre-drilled hole (standard D-shaped hole) on the Solar Node bracket

* Three-step installation: Align → Insert → Lock
