The Clarity Node-S is designed with a lithium-ion battery and a solar panel, making it ideal for off-grid deployments. With this setup, the Node-S can operate continuously outdoors without the need for manual recharging.
Under normal conditions, the battery and solar panel are optimized to ensure the Node-S can run indefinitely, as long as there is sufficient sunlight.
At the default sampling frequency, a fully charged Node-S can continue to operate for over 15 days even without sunlight. However, if you increase the sampling frequency, the battery will deplete more quickly, shortening the operational time without sunlight.
If you need to adjust the sampling frequency based on your specific use case or sunlight availability, Clarity can help you customize these settings. You can find more information about sampling frequency here. Feel free to reach out to us at support@clarity.io to explore these options.
