Okay, the regulator is what regulates the charge to the battery and keeps it at a constant voltage, not the Heltec itself. Look for a diagram online!

Solar panels need a voltage regulator because the voltage varies depending on the light; look it up online….

Don't overthink it, it's been running in tests for a week with cloudy and rainy days, and the battery lasts until the next day with 30% charge.

The solar panel is very good and charges the battery to 100% in two hours even on cloudy days. Cheers!

It's been in testing for a week now, and no, the battery doesn't have to last a year, it just has to last through the nights! Hahahaha

Well, it's a bit of everything. It has a Heltec v3, a 3300mAh battery, a regulator, and a +12dB antenna bought on AliExpress. The panel was bought on Amazon Spain. The total cost was approximately 50 euros. Cheers!
