I wanted to build a Meshtastic node i could get up higher which led to this. Basically 4 solar panels wired in parallel, a 3000 Mah battery both plugged into a Heltec V4 board which can handle the solar charging. The solar panels are glued in the recesses with a silicone adhesive. I also reccoment using some of the adhesive to keep your antenna through whole water tight. Once the node is sealed up there is no easy to get into it but still a fun and easy Meshtastic project/Node. To mount the node on the PVC mast simply push it in the top of the PVC you can also use the four loops at the bottom with Zip ties for an even stronger hold,
