Checking my #meshtastic solar nodes that has'nt gotten any sunshine for the past three weeks.My custom built one, with a 4000mAh battery is probably going offline any day now, with 23% battery left.The Seeed Studio Solar Node, with a muuch larger battery bank (nearly 10000mAh) is reporting 76% left.

@selea Haven't gotten any solar nodes up yet, likely next year. I have some land in a remote area, so I'll probably start there. Good to hear about the Seed Studio kit, I'll probably look there initially.Unrelated, how has GPS been for you with moving nodes? I'm still tuning that for my Heltec V3 and V4s nodes that move.

@JSkier I can really recommend the Solar Node from Seeed Studio:https://www.seeedstudio.com/SenseCAP-Solar-Node-P1-Pro-for-Meshtastic-LoRa-p-6412.htmlRegarding GPS, I dont use any on my Heltec, but I know that @yeold has put a module on the ones he has, both V3 and V4.The portable nodes I use is the T1000-E, Wismesh Tag and T-Deck
