NOTE
We have adjusted the position of the product's charging port, with everything else unchanged. You may receive different versions.
you need to purchase at least two for communication, or you already have other devices that support Meshtastic. If you need to establish longer-distance network communication, multiple nodes are required for networking, which will extend the network coverage further.

Features
【Communication Security】The solar-powered LoRa node has a built-in LoRa radio for long-distance off-grid communication. It effectively encrypts information by adding channel-set communication keys, ensuring extremely high security.
【Core Processor】Equipped with the ESP32-SX1262 LoRa communication module, it achieves low power consumption and ultra-long standby time.
【About Battery】It can house 4 pieces of 18650-type batteries, which are easy to replace.
【Solar Panel】The solar panel has a power of 4W and uses monocrystalline silicon with a 24% conversion efficiency to charge the battery, enabling 7×24-hour standby operation.
【Charging and Discharging Management】The built-in solar controller precisely controls the charging and discharging of the internal battery to ensure the normal operation of the solar LoRa node.
【Transmission Frequency】The LoRa module supports 433MHz/868MHz/915MHz frequencies. Frequencies vary by country, please refer to the frequency selection guidelines.
【Self-Organizing Network】The solar-powered LoRa nodes self-organize into a network upon power-on, ready for use once devices are added. With grid-based communication, more nodes allow mutual communication between them, forming a network and enabling communication between two nodes that are far apart. It is compatible with other LoRa devices based on the Meshtastic protocol, allowing nodes from different brands to join the same network and enhancing network expandability.
【GPS Positioning】For products with optional GPS positioning function, you can keep track of your friends' or your own real-time location.
【Usage Environment】Meshtastic uses LoRa, a long-range radio protocol that is widely available in most regions without the need for additional licenses or certifications.
【Protection Level】IP65 waterproof and dustproof design ensures normal operation in rainy and dusty environments; it supports wide-temperature operation from -20℃ to 60℃, adapting to high-altitude, extremely cold/hot areas.
【Application】Meshtastic (supporting iOS/Android) can connect to devices via Bluetooth or LoRa, enabling remote configuration of communication frequency, encryption keys, node names, viewing of network topology (node distribution, signal links), and querying of historical communication records.
【Backup Interface】In addition to solar power, a Type-C emergency charging port is reserved. In case of continuous rainy weather, power can be supplemented through an external power source (such as a power bank) to avoid disconnection.
【Sensor Interface】Reserved universal interfaces such as I2C/SPI/UART support external sensors for temperature and humidity, air pressure, soil moisture, gas concentration (e.g., CO₂, smoke), etc., making it suitable for scenarios like agricultural monitoring and environmental early warning.
Decentralized communication
In LoRa communication, a single node can automatically form a network and establish a grid-based network. The more solar-powered nodes there are, the stronger the network becomes, with smoother communication and a wider communication range.
By adding more solar-powered LoRa nodes, the network expands accordingly.
IP66
Note: After installing the battery, ensure the waterproof silicone gasket is properly seated—it is critical for sealing. Tighten the screws to apply a certain amount of pressure to the silicone gasket, ensuring its waterproof function. Meanwhile, use the screw waterproof silicone plugs from the accessory bag to seal all 8 screw holes.
Meshtastic APP
The phone's Bluetooth connects to the solar-powered LoRa node, and information is sent to your friends or neighbors via Meshtastic.
The Meshtastic APP enables network communication after you share your channel or your friends add your channel.
1.When traveling in a motorhome and encountering poor 4G network conditions, solar-powered LoRa nodes can be used to contact your companions or share your location information.
For large farms or manors, to solve the problem of network communication, multiple sets of solar-powered LoRa nodes can be used to build a network.
The test data of our product shows that in urban environments, due to the influence of buildings, the transmission distance of solar-powered LoRa nodes is approximately 2km, while in open areas, it can reach 3km.
distance of solar-powered LoRa nodes is approximately 5-10 km.
Strap attachment
Comes standard with a strap, which you can use to secure it to the solar panel with screws and attach the solar LoRa node to a tree.
Size
The solar-powered LoRa node can be installed with 4 18650 batteries, which need to be purchased by the user themselves.
List:
Solar LoRa node 1PCS
3DB antenna 1PCS
Fixed bracket 1PCS
Fixed strap 1PCS
Fixed screws 1 pack
18650 battery Please purchase it yourself.
Since devices containing batteries cannot be transported by air, you will need to purchase batteries yourself.
Battery type
Please purchase 18650 type batteries with no capacity restrictions. Choose batteries with the largest possible capacity. We recommend Panasonic 3300mAh batteries.
LoRa frequency
Choosing the correct LoRa frequency will make it perform better in your area.
