Typical Application Fields : Internet of Things (IoT)
High-concerned chemical : None
Compatible With : Meshtastic
Accessory Type : SENSOR
Brand Name : seeed studio
Origin : Mainland China
Feature
It is an economical solar-powered comms node or repeater based on Meshtastic. It meets basic comms needs in no – network zones. Unlike P1-Pro, P1 lacks a built-in GPS module and four 18650 batteries, yet keeps core comms. It’s perfect for budget-constrained scenarios or those not needing precise location, like environmental monitoring and short – range network setups.
The native firmware of this product is meshtastic. If you need Meshcore, you need to refer to the following wiki tutorial to flash the Meshcore firmware or contact me to obtain the wiki:https://wiki.seeedstudioget_started_with_meshcore_solar_node/
Note:
SenseCAP Solar Node P1is 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 GPS and batteries, opt for theSenseCAP Solar Node P1-Pro.

User Manual
Integrated with a5W solar panel, and supports external batteries (which need to be provided by users themselves).
The device comespre-installed with Meshtastic firmwareat the factory. It can be seamlessly integrated into the Meshtastic ecosystem.
Compatible with theGrove ecosystem, and supports plug-and-play of sensors such as temperature and humidity sensors, light sensors, etc.
It is suitable forlong-term outdoor use.
Supports 8 to 9KM Transmissioninopen areas. It can be used as an outdoor node or repeater, easily expanding the Mesh network and enhancing network coverage.
Accessory Options：If you need an antenna with higher gain, we recommend the860-930MHz 3dBi fiberglass antennaand the902-928MHz 5.8dBi fiberglass 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
