Want to build a MeshCore Repeater that never dies? ⚡🌍
We’ve got the solution. The SenseCAP Solar Node P1 Pro now supports MeshCore firmware out of the box!
It has a 5W solar panel built right in, fully waterproof, made for the wild. Just mount it on your roof or a high peak, and let it expand your network coverage silently.

Great to see a Solar Node deployed in Cancún ☀️
Off-grid communication networks are growing node by node.
Thanks for building with #Meshtastic and #Seeed hardware! Looking forward to seeing more nodes light up the map

Solar Node P1 doing what it does best📡
One of our community members has been running a SenseCAP Solar Node P1 for a few weeks. After upgrading the antenna, coverage jumped significantly—verified by driving around with a Wio Tracker L1.
Urban environment.
~250 nodes detected.
Multiple mobile fixed devices running solid.
Real-world mesh > lab tests.

🌟A Low-Cost Solar Meshtastic Node from the BuffaLoRa Community
📡 Many thanks to the BuffaLoRa community for sharing a really interesting hands-on write-up,
showing how to use XIAO nRF52840 Wio-SX1262 together with an off-the-shelf solar light enclosure to build a low-cost outdoor solar @TheMeshtastic node.
The approach is very maker-friendly:
1⃣Built using readily available, off-the-shelf parts
2⃣Flashed with Meshtastic and deployed with minimal setup
3⃣Runs continuously outdoors on solar power
A practical example of how small, low-power hardware like XIAO nRF52840 & Wio-SX1262 can be used for solar and off-grid Meshtastic setups.

We got a similar question from many of our friends (you — our beloved customers):
“What’s the easiest way to get started with Meshtastic?”
So we bundled our most popular, ready-to-go #Meshtastic devices into one kit:
• #SenseCAP T1000-E – IP65 rated, compact, rugged, and easy to carry
• Wio Tracker L1 Pro – standalone device with a display, joystick, and large battery
• Solar Node P1 – solar-powered fixed node that keeps your mesh running outdoors
Together, they help you build a reliable off-grid mesh network in minutes — for hiking, emergency communications, or simply exploring Meshtastic.
To make it even easier to start, the Meshtastic Starter Kit is now 15% OFF (limited time).

🎉Huge thanks to Vivian van Zyl for sharing this super practical SenseCAP P1 Pro Solar Node setup guide 🙌
The post walks through the full process ,from initial setup to real-world mounting and field notes with a strong focus on what actually matters in day-to-day use. It’s clear, hands-on, and easy to follow if you’re deploying @TheMeshtastic solar nodes in the wild.
🙌If you’re building out a LoRa mesh or planning outdoor or remote deployments, this is a great reference based on real experience.

🚨 What happens when power, internet, and phone networks all go down?
In late September 2025, the municipality of Am Mellensee (Germany) simulated a total blackout — and turned to a community-built, solar-powered mesh network using #Seeed Studio’s #SenseCAP Solar Nodes and @TheMeshtastic .
This isn't just a maker experiment — it's a real-world emergency communication system spanning nine districts, built by volunteers - TJK Solutions, tested under extreme conditions.
🔗 Read how it was done & what it means for off-grid resilience ➤ bit.ly/47QFXgs#Meshtastic#Meshtasticdevice#SeeedStudio#SolarNode#EmergencyCommunication#LoRa#IoT#DisasterPreparedness#CommunityResilience
Exciting to see the KatS-Netz (disaster communication network) project in Germany taking shape!
The #SenseCAP Solar Node P1 for @TheMeshtastic has been installed at the Mellensee fire station — marking an important milestone for building a reliable, independent, and future-ready communication network for disaster protection.
We’re proud that the solar node P1 can play a role in this mission — providing solar-powered, low-maintenance connectivity that helps communities stay connected when it matters most.
Kudos to the KatS-Netz team for making this happen — and we can’t wait to see the network grow! 🙌

SolarNode is syncing!
Yes, you can run a #Bitcoin node in Solarbit, all it takes is making an appropriate cable and picking the voltage output corresponding to your board specs. In this case, I made an XT30 to 5mm barrel jack cable for the RockPro64.
