FAQ Chosing a Solar Kit

What should I do if simulation still shows days with empty battery?

• You could switch of the radar during night by using LoRaWAN Downlinks (command radar_enabled) to save energy
• You could try to use a bigger solar panel
• You could operate the device with a power supply connected to mains

What alternative solar panel do you recommend?

Products knowing to work with solar-powered TCR:
