SenseCAP Solar Node P1-Pro

The SenseCAP Solar Node P1-Pro is a solar-powered Meshtastic/MeshCore node designed for long-term outdoor deployment. It comes with everything you need to get set up right out of the box, including four 18650 batteries, a GPS module, and pre-flashed and configured with your firmware of choice.

Mount it on a pole or wall to extend your mesh network's range and reliability. The integrated 5W solar panel keeps the batteries topped off, and the nRF52840-based radio draws minimal power, so this node can run indefinitely in most environments with as little as an hour of sunlight per day.

The P1-Pro supports communication ranges up to 9km in open areas and can function as either a standalone node or a repeater to relay messages across your mesh. Built-in GPS provides real-time positioning, making it a solid option for remote area tracking and outdoor operations.

A Grove expansion port lets you connect environmental sensors (temperature, humidity, air quality) for remote monitoring applications.

Atlavox ships your solar node pre-flashed with the latest firmware — no assembly, flashing, or configuring required.
