Solar-Powered Communication Node for Remote Connectivity

This compact powerhouse combines the XIAO nRF52840 Plus main controller, the Wio-SX1262 LoRa module , and the XIAO L76K GPS module all in one solar-powered unit. Designed specifically for off-grid environments , it thrives where traditional networks can’t reach.

With its built-in battery , it delivers:

• Long-range LoRa communication

• Accurate GPS positioning

• Ultra-low power consumption

Perfect for expanding network coverage in outdoor, rural, or mobile scenarioswhether you’re building a Meshtastic mesh, tracking assets in the wild, or deploying IoT nodes in remote terrain.

Features

Reliable Off-Grid Power & Communication

Powered by a 5W solar panel and 418650 batteries (each with 3350mAh capacity), this setup ensures continuous operation even without sunlightperfect for remote outdoor deployments . Say goodbye to power worries!

The device comes pre-flashed with Meshtastic firmware, ready to plug into your mesh network out of the box.

Equipped with a built-in XIAO L76K GPS module, it delivers high-precision real-time positioning and supports live location sharingideal for outdoor tracking, hiking, or field operations .

Thanks to its Grove interface, you can easily connect sensors like temperature, humidity, or motion detectorsmaking it perfect for environmental monitoring and functional expansion .

Designed for long-term outdoor use, its rugged, efficient, and versatile.

With a communication range of 89KM in open areas, it integrates seamlessly into the Meshtastic ecosystemwhether as a node or repeater, it helps extend your mesh network and boost coverage effortlessly .

Accessory Options

Need a stronger signal boost? We recommend the 860930MHz 3dBi fiberglass antenna for enhanced gain and extended range.

Note: This antenna does not come with a compatible connector. If you need to use this antenna with the Seeed Studio SenseCAP Solar Node P1-Pro, please click here to purchase an N-Type Female to RP-SMA Male connector at the same time.

Plug-and-Play Setup Comes with a standard RF cablejust insert it into the pre-drilled D-shaped hole on the Solar Node bracket. No tools, no hassle.
