D5 solar enclosure with 5 W panel and 868 MHz antenna
Build your own solar-powered LoRa node for outdoor use! D5 combines an enclosure, a 5 W solar panel, and a built-in battery controller with an 868 MHz antenna.
This is the DIY version without batteries and LoRa board. The enclosure is designed for Heltec V3, Heltec V4, and Mesh Node T114, so you can build a node with suitable electronics and firmware.
The monocrystalline panel has a tempered glass surface. The bracket and adjustable ball head make it possible to point the panel towards the sun. How long a completed node can run depends on the batteries, power consumption, and sunlight.
LoRa module and batteries not included. The enclosure is therefore not a complete repeater. Check the supply voltage, connectors, and polarity of the selected board before connecting, and ensure that the antenna cable glands and cover are correctly sealed.
The panel's 5 W is a nominal power; the actual production depends on sunlight, panel angle, and temperature. The supplier states a solar cell efficiency of 24.3%. The battery controller manages the power for a separate battery and node setup. Size the batteries according to the board's continuous consumption and periods without sunlight, especially during winter operation. The enclosure fits Heltec V3, Heltec V4, and Mesh Node T114 and contains no radio or GNSS receiver.
