RAK WisBlock Meshtastic Starter Kit
The WisBlock Meshtastic Starter Kit is a bundle of WisBlock Base RAK19007, the Core RAK4631 and a Rubber Antenna from RAKWireless. By prioritising power efficiency and management, it is the perfect choice for solar powered off grid Meshtastic nodes, routers and repeaters.
RAK4631 Solar Node for Meshtastic
I just wanted a simple board for mounting 18650 batteries and the RAK board, so I designed one. BOM: The box https://amzn.to/3CRd7Qf the terminals: https://amzn.to/4fNxA6X the n connector: https://amzn.to/3VbZdOQ (it''s 6 inches long, so i curled it up. if you find a shorter one, like 3 inches go with that) breather plug:

Universal Meshtastic Solar Node with MPPT
The solar enclosure is "universal" in that it can accommodate the Heltec V3, RAK Starter Kit, or boards of similar size without modification. It features the option for N-Type or SMA connectors, an optional waterproof USB-C pass-though.
Solar carry-around node
The node has so far always re-started on solar power if left to run flat deliberately. The node reports the solar panel voltage and current. It has a 55 deg C cut-off for the battery. A long-term test is running to see if it survives when mounted vertically in sub-optimal location in winter.

Simple Meshtastic solar node
Super low effort solar node using a folding solar panel and a Seeed T1000-E card for Meshtastic. This is a quick model to try out the concept, and works surprisingly well. Good chance there will be more iterations of this in the future, but throwing up initial design for others to try out and provide feedback.

Wisblock solar charger stopped working : r/meshtastic
I ordered a WisBlock Meshtastic Starter Kit and received it a few days ago. I built out my setup with a 6w 5V solar panel and 2P 18650 3.7v batteries. After installation the RED LED indicating the solar charger was charging seemed to work fine. The voltage increased from 3.7v to 3.75v sometime since then, so it was charging the battery.

(Noob question) What kind of battery should I get for RAK
I bought the case with a solar panel inside the kit on their website. Obviously I would love to be able to charge the battery with that, I have no knowledge of batteries but I am pretty sure there is a limit for a small panel like that to charge anything.

2. Select the Right Solar Charger. Look for a portable solar charger that can provide enough power to keep your LoRa devices charged. Here are a few things to consider when choosing a solar charger: Power Output: A solar panel with a power output of 5 watts or more should be sufficient for charging small devices like LoRa radios.

My newly built solar meshtastic node soon ready for deployment
Solar panel is from a trail camera i had. It has an internal pouch battery(1700mah) i also added another battery inside it, same type. Solar panel is rated 1.8w, but i really think it''s half under good circumstances. Since the solar panel outputs 6v i added a diode with voltage drop of 0.7v so the input is about 5.3v.
