Description
I created a simple add-on to the wireless soil moisture sensor so that you can attach a solar panel to hopefully provide a source of power all year round. Simply place the solar panel (link below) between the two printed parts and glue them together. Attach a 5V USB converter to the solar panel and connect to the moisture sensor with a micro-USB. The module then simply slots onto the top of the sensor.
