LilyGo T-Solar Kit

The LilyGo T-Solar Kit is a complete solution for solar-powered power supply of compatible LilyGo development boards. The set consists of a monocrystalline solar panel with 5.4W peak power and a weatherproof housing with mounting material, in which a suitable LilyGo board can be housed. The solar panel provides a voltage of 5.7V and a current of up to 947 mA at optimal load, the open-circuit voltage reaches 6.9V and the short-circuit current up to 994 mA. The connection is made via a JST-PH compatible plug that fits directly into the solar interfaces of current LilyGo boards, such as the T-Echo Lite, T-Beam, T3 or T-SIM series. The solar panel itself measures 233 × 152 × 6 mm and is equipped with a mounting bracket for setup. The supplied outdoor enclosure made of gray plastic measures 190 × 109 × 74 mm and is equipped with cable inlets, integrated seal, and antenna passages. It is hinge-guided, can be opened, and offers space for the LilyGo board, a battery, and the wiring. Four mounting screws and mounting accessories enable mounting on posts, walls, or masts. The kit is particularly suitable for off-grid applications outdoors, such as for LoRa gateways, Meshtastic nodes, or environmental sensors. The assembly is done as a kit: the LilyGo board and the lithium battery are not included and must be purchased separately. Note: The solar panel is directly compatible with boards that have a matching 2.0 solar connection.
