📄 Meshtastic Winter Solar Mount – 67° Tilt Bracket
Currently, my Meshtastic RAK is running smoothly with a 5V 10W solar panel and 3×18650 Li-ion batteries — even during bad weather conditions. The setup uses the 67° solar panel bracket shown here, which is specifically designed for wintertime operation with a +15° latitude offset, ensuring optimal solar performance even in low-sunlight seasons.
Thus, its perfect e.g. for latitude N51° +/- x°.
Please note:
I received the hint that rotating the panel by 90° clockwise – meaning mounting it horizontally – improves the exposure time throughout the sun’s path. This optimizes the duration during which the controller can charge the battery. I have attached the F3D file for the requested modifications and will publish the update as soon as I find the time for it.

📦 Case Compatibility & Credits
There are also compatible mounting plates available for these type of waterproof cases — I highly recommend checking out the excellent designs by @Rinodods: Rinodods | Printables.com
His collection includes smart, pole-mount-ready base plates for the next larger case size.
Proper credit goes to Rinodods, especially for the pole-mount concept.
The version I published for this case (150×100×70 mm) builds on his idea and is now released under a remix-friendly license.
