Build resilient, solar-powered Meshtastic nodes without paying for parts you may already own. SenseCAP Solar Node P1 is a cost-effective outdoor LoRa node that ships pre-installed with Meshtastic and a 5 W panel, ready for Grove sensors and your choice of power and GNSS add-ons.

Deploy it as a long-range repeater or edge sensor host: expect 8 to 9 km transmission in open areas, plug in Grove I2C sensors for environment data, and choose your own button-top 18650 cells and optional XIAO L76K GNSS. Prefer an all-in-one with positioning and batteries included? See the Seeed Studio SenseCAP Solar Node P1-Pro.
