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. An inexpensive MPPT controller is used for more efficient solar charging. Hope someone will find it useful.
Solar node first-timer Questions : r/meshtastic
I was able to build a water-proof solar node (excluding mounting hardware) for about $48 using a wisblock kit and an ALFA AOA-915-5ACM antenna. Doesn''t have GPS or a screen like the t-echo, but the screen isn''t needed and if you''re worried about it being stolen, the GPS can be added for an extra $17, so it''s roughly $65 total.

Building a Solar Powered Lora Meshtastic Community
Meshtastic is a wonderful project for creating decentralised text-based communication networks for local communities using low power (and low cost) Lora radios. Fun fact — the Meshtastic logo appears to reference
Complete mini solar node / router with Meshtastic
Complete mini solar node ready to use! Preinstalled with the latest version of Meshtasic. It uses a small solar panel to charge a high-capacity 18650 battery. This is a low-power consumption node running a RAK19007 with a LoRa 800-915Mhz module. It is perfect to keep at home as a dedicated router or client.

Solar Powered
Solar Powered 📄️ Measure Power Consumption. Before you can calculate what size solar panel and battery bank are required you need to determine how much power your device consumes. This is an essential and first step in building a solar powered anything.
Guts of my solar set up : r/meshtastic
TLDR: Meshtastic is an open-source, decentralized mesh communication protocol that enables long-range, low-power, and secure communication between devices. Solar nodes are self-powered devices that use solar energy to operate continuously and extend the reach and reliability of Meshtastic networks, particularly in remote or off-grid locations.
