Keep the power mode on Battery. The app will ask if you want to switch to Wired mode. Don’t switch because Wired mode will drain your battery even with the solar panel.

5.0 out of 5 stars No More Battery Charging
Reviewed in the United States on November 28, 2018
Style: Solar Panel BlackVerified Purchase
This is a lifesaver! I love the ring products and wanted to place a camera that was no near any power. I noticed that the batteries would last about 2 weeks from a full charge. After having to pull out the batteries and wait for them to charge I started searching for a solar option. I am could not be happier with this product. Even with multiple days of cloud cover or snow, my battery doesn't drop below 98%. My only suggestion would be a shorter cable option as the one that is hard-wired into the back of the panel is crazy long. This would be great if your camera is on the other side of the house that doesn't get any sun but for those that don't need all of the extra, it doesn't look very clean with a massive roll of cable stuffed behind your camera.

I mounted this in full sun and have moved it several times but my battery levels continue to drop. I haven't found anywhere I can mount it for it to be effective. If someone could help me troubleshoot it would be great; otherwise I'm going to have to send it back.

5.0 out of 5 stars I’ll NEVER have to swap Ring batteries again!
Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2018
Style: Solar Panel BlackVerified Purchase
I picked up this solar panel with a little trepidation. Many reviews are negative, claiming it doesn’t work well. I have found that to be completely false. I purposely installed two batteries in the Ring spotlight cam – one was 100% charged, the other was about 40% charged. After a quick install of the solar panel I watched the battery indicator creep up 5-10% each day. Both batteries in the camera are now fully charged on a daily basis. The panel receives partial morning sun, but manages to maintain both batteries at over 97%. I live in a heavily wooded area and the camera catches squirrels, cats, foxes, turkeys, on a regular basis. It probably triggers 20-30 times in an average day, but the solar panel keeps the batteries full. I am thoroughly impressed with this product. I will be purchasing more. One thing to watch out for- the Ring Stick Up cams use a different power supply connector. Make sure you are buying the correct solar panel.

1.0 out of 5 stars Solar Battery Charger needs direct sunlight
Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2018
Style: Solar Panel BlackVerified Purchase
I have two Solar Battery Charges attached to two Rings. One of the Rings is attached to a tree on my front yard. The other is attached to an eve of my house in the backyard. The battery looses 1% of its charge daily on both of these Rings. The Solar Battery Charger do not increase the charge on the battery. This is disappointing because both of these devices are hard to reach and recharging the batteries is a hassle.
Revised comment 1-9-19
Repositioned the Solar chargers in direct sunlight and the batteries are charging.

5.0 out of 5 stars Solar panel great addition!
Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2018
Style: Solar Panel BlackVerified Purchase
When I bought my Ring Spotlight Cam Battery HD Security Camera with Built Two-Way Talk and Siren I realized immediately the ability to put 2 batteries in meant this device had it all! With all of it"s features one must have sufficient energy. I bought the solar panel when I bought it but didn't attach it for 10 days. I placed it on the roof facing the direction the enclosed information said would be optimal placement. The first couple days I was up and down the ladder changing the battery 2ce a week. After seeing how much my battery was draining in the first couple of days (a lot of dog motion pulling on the power source) I was really glad I bought the panel. I waited 10 days to attach the solar panel as I wanted maximum placement time to see how well the panel was going to do in the place I selected , desired some exposure to sun before attaching it to my Spotlight with only one battery chamber filled, and a way to see that the solar panel was working as advertised.. After I attached the solar panel, health checks great with 97-98% battery power readings! Haven't been up that ladder at all in a few weeks!

3.0 out of 5 stars Keeps the camera battery charged, but has a major flaw
Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2018
Style: Solar Panel WhiteVerified Purchase
I would give this five stars for "just working," but I was rather unhappy with the inflexibility of installation.
Since I was installing in my east-facing back yard, I would have liked a way to install this with the panel facing south, tilted up parallel with my solar electric panels. But there is no way to do this, so it is installed in a way that leaves it mostly shadowed in the afternoon. The good news is that even like this, it charged from about 20% to 100% in a few days and it maintains a full charge on the (single) battery in my camera.
There is no indication in the app that it is charging, but of course I can check at different times and see that it must be. So this isn't really a problem.

5.0 out of 5 stars Keeps my batteries charged – improved the camera's performance
Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2018
Style: Solar Panel WhiteVerified Purchase
I recently installed this solar panel for the Spotlight Cam Battery. Not only did it immediately start charging both of my batteries, the performance is now very close (in many ways) to my Spotlight Cam and Doorbell Pro. My Spotlight Cam Battery now ramps up to a good video quicker, doesn't skip, stutter, or have video glitches, and overall just looks better, including now having Night Colors, as my other Ring cameras do.
This camera points across my front yard to the sidewalk and street. Even with two batteries, I was having to remove one for charging more often than I had hoped, but that is because there are a lot of people walking on my side of the street (no intersections) – which is what I want to monitor – so the camera records many times each day. Now, my batteries stay at 100%, so even if there are days without much sun, I should always have plenty of electricity to power my camera.
It makes me think that the firmware is programmed to give it the performance of a wired camera, when it sees the solar panel. I believe Ring throttles the performance of the Battery version, to save battery life, and it used to lose even more performance (almost unbearable) when the battery got very low – just before it would switch over to the 2nd battery. Now – with the solar panel – I am completely happy with the Spotlight Battery Cam.

1.0 out of 5 stars Will not charge in winter (under -5C)
Reviewed in Canada on March 13, 2019
Style: Solar Panel WhiteVerified Purchase
The solar panel and mount worked as shown, the construction seems really good that's why I still gave it 1 star.
When I purchased the camera to go along with this solar panel, I was very excited as I have the home alarm and 2 other hardwired versions. Unit was installed over the driveway and the solar panel was facing south receiving more than 4 hours direct sun each day. The setup was a breeze and the integration was easy, unfortunately that's where the pros stop.
The camera only has 40% battery life left after 6 days, the solar panel wasn't charging at all and the camera wouldn't even operate once it got to -15c. The camera has a -30c operating temperature which I made sure of before I purchased the product. Once I finally got a hold of support they then informed me that the battery may not even charge once it hits 0 degrees C. Basically this is a useless camera in Canada (this includes the wired model), unless you want to buy a camera that only works half the year. The operating temperatures can be found here: support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005939463-Cold-Weather-and-Battery-Powered-Ring-Devices , which in no way is presented on the box or packaging. Ring support recommends bringing the camera in when it’s cold, and cold to them is below 0 degrees Celsius. So, I reiterate the camera should not be purchased in Canada period.
I must stress that I have been very happy with all my Ring products and they operate perfectly for me.
After testing this thoroughly for 3 weeks I have come to assert that the camera will not charge when the temperature drops below -5c, So in finishing what good is the solar panel if it will not work with the camera when the weather gets cold?

Provided sufficient power to charge a Ring Spotlight Cam through a Canadian winter. Only one battery in the camera and the panel was frequently covered by snow. Durable. Reliable. Long cable provided.

Good quality panel. Too bad it was not able to keep my camera charged at all. Likely due to our dark and cold Canadian winters… but still… I had to return the camera and get a wired one and run a wire over.
