Since I have never gone out in nondescript black clothing at night to destroy these things, I can’t say from firsthand knowledge…
But yes, yes they are. They make great trickle chargers for large batteries that only get used intermittently. Or string several together and enjoy an ebike battery charger. I have a similarly sized and shaped panel I found somewhere that I use to charge my 18650 bank.
Get a high vis jacket over a black polo shirt with an iron-on logo, a face mask, and sunglasses. Park out of sight or bike or walk up. You could probably swap most public hardware things with mesh node guts in broad daylight. Just sayin’. This is not advice.
Any RAM or storage in those things? That solar panel looks useful.

“That I found somewhere” is funnier than usual given the context
I am tempted to snatch the solar cell for meshtastic nodes. They do look like they are high quality.
Could you replace the insides with a node?

Looks like a small camera and IR LED’s too.
