SenseCAP Solar Node P1 / P1-Pro: Meshtastic Setup and Outdoor Checks →

P1 and P1-Pro package / setup notes

  • Both options use XIAO nRF52840 Plus and SX1262, not an ESP32 MCU. Select the Seeed SenseCAP Solar Node firmware target.
  • P1 does not include GPS or four 18650 cells in the standard package; P1-Pro is documented with the L76K GPS module and four 3350 mAh cells.
  • A 5 W panel rating and open-area radio-distance examples do not guarantee continuous operation or a fixed range. Test the actual radio link and daily energy balance before unattended deployment.

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.

Note:

SenseCAP Solar Node P1 is 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 and batteries, opt for the SenseCAP Solar Node P1-Pro.

🌱Integrated with a 5W solar panel, with battery contents depending on the option: P1 requires user-supplied cells; P1-Pro is documented with four cells.

🌱The device comes pre-installed with Meshtastic firmware at the factory. It can be seamlessly integrated into the Meshtastic ecosystem.

🌱Compatible with the Grove ecosystem, and supports plug-and-play of sensors such as temperature and humidity sensors, light sensors, etc.

🌱It is suitable for long-term outdoor use.

🌱Open-area transmission examples up to 8–9 km; actual range depends on the installation in open areas. It can be used as an outdoor node or repeater, easily expanding the Mesh network and enhancing network coverage.SenseCAP Solar Node P1 / P1-Pro for Meshtastic, 5W Panel, nRF52840 and SX1262 LoRa — reference image 3Specification
