KIT0210, Outdoor Solar Power Kit, 10W Monocrystalline Panel + 12V / 5V Outputs
This outdoor solar power kit is a compact, weather-resistant energy solution designed for off-grid IoT systems such as LoRaWAN, NB-IoT, and 4G/5G gateways. It uses a 10W monocrystalline solar panel to charge lithium batteries and provides regulated 12V and 5V outputs for powering devices like Raspberry Pi, Arduino, and industrial sensors.
Combining intelligent charging control with rugged outdoor protection, it is ideal for environmental monitoring, precision agriculture, smart cities, and remote infrastructure projects.

Dual Output Voltages for Broad Device Compatibility
The controller provides two regulated DC outputs: 12V/1A and 5V/1A, enabling simultaneous operation of high-power and low-voltage devices without additional converters.
Plug-and-Play Setup with Waterproof Enclosure
Electronics are sealed in an IP-rated waterproof enclosure. Installation requires just three 18650 lithium batteries. The case includes pre-drilled mounting lugs for easy attachment to poles or walls, supporting fast deployment and long-term outdoor use.
Efficient Solar Charging and Battery Management
A high-efficiency 10W solar panel recharges the batteries in approximately 8 hours under strong sunlight. The system includes an intelligent charge controller with overcharge protection, over-discharge prevention, and cell balancing to prolong battery life and maintain reliable performance in unattended conditions.
