SenseCAP Solar Node P1-Pro for Meshtastic — Solar-Powered Outdoor Repeater (EU868)

A complete solar-powered Meshtastic repeater with everything included. The SenseCAP Solar Node P1-Pro is a deploy-and-forget outdoor mesh node with a 5W solar panel, four 18650 batteries (13,400 mAh total), built-in GPS, and a weatherproof enclosure. Pre-flashed with Meshtastic firmware — mount it, leave it, and your mesh gains permanent extended range.

Designed specifically for outdoor deployment as a fixed repeater node. Mount it on a wall, pole, rooftop, or tree, point the solar panel toward the sun, and it runs autonomously for years.

Key Features

• 5W solar panel + 13,400 mAh battery (4× 18650, 3350 mAh each) — best-in-class power capacity for autonomous outdoor operation. Survives cloudy stretches and winter conditions on battery alone
• Pre-installed batteries — unlike the base P1, the P1-Pro ships with batteries already installed and ready to deploy
• XIAO nRF52840 Plus MCU — ultra-low power consumption. Microamp-level current in deep sleep
• Wio-SX1262 LoRa module — 22 dBm transmit power, full Meshtastic & MeshCore compatibility
• Built-in GPS (XIAO L76K) — supports GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo for accurate time sync and position reporting
• Weatherproof enclosure — designed for permanent outdoor mounting
• Pre-flashed Meshtastic — works out of the box
• Grove sensor expansion — connect external sensors (temperature, humidity, light) for environmental monitoring
• Wall and pole mounting brackets included
• 2 dBi dipole antenna included
• Type-C and solar charging — charge via USB indoors before deployment, or rely on solar afterwards

Performance

With a clear line of sight, the P1-Pro reaches up to 8–9 km in open environments. Mounted on a rooftop or hilltop with a higher-gain external antenna (via the included SMA connector), range extends significantly further. As a relay node, it dramatically expands the coverage of your local Meshtastic or MeshCore network.

P1-Pro vs WisMesh Repeater Mini

We sell two solar-powered Meshtastic repeaters. Here's how they compare:

• WisMesh Repeater Mini (€107) — compact all-in-one design. Smaller integrated solar panel, 3200 mAh battery. Best for installations where size matters or where the device sees plenty of sun (e.g. south-facing rooftops). Perfect for most users.
• SenseCAP Solar Node P1-Pro (this product) — larger 5W panel + 13,400 mAh battery + GPS. Best for installations in less sunny locations, longer overcast periods, or where you want maximum reliability. Premium choice for serious deployments.

Specs

• MCU: XIAO nRF52840 Plus (ARM Cortex-M4, 64 MHz, 256 KB RAM, 1 MB Flash + 2 MB onboard Flash)
• LoRa module: Wio-SX1262 (Semtech SX1262, TX power 22 dBm)
• Frequency: 862–930 MHz (EU868)
• GPS module: XIAO L76K — GPS / GLONASS / Galileo
• Solar panel: 5W
• Battery: 4× 18650 lithium ion (3350 mAh each, pre-installed) — 13,400 mAh total
• Charging: Type-C + solar
• Operating temperature (discharge): -40°C to +60°C
• Operating temperature (charging): 0°C to +50°C
• Antenna: 2 dBi dipole (included), SMA connector for upgrades
• Expansion: Grove interface for sensors
• Firmware: Meshtastic (pre-flashed) — also MeshCore compatible

What's in the Box

• 1 × SenseCAP Solar Node P1-Pro (weatherproof enclosure with integrated 5W solar panel)
• 4 × 18650 batteries (3350 mAh, pre-installed)
• 1 × XIAO L76K GPS module (pre-installed)
• 1 × 2 dBi dipole antenna
• Wall and pole mounting brackets

Pair It With

• McGill Outdoor Antennas (from €53.40) — upgrade the included 2 dBi antenna for dramatically more range
• Weather Sealing Tape (€7.49) — seal connector joints when using an external antenna
