I don't believe there is a higher output unit from Ring. Then, if you found one it probably is much bigger, and burn out the camera, also would void your warranty, and would look really out of place. My suggestion would be to get a plug in charger, I have purchased 3 myself. There cheaper and less conspicuous. I did not have an electrical outlet outside near one camera. I did have a outlet on the same wall, but inside. I took the cover off, and shut the power off. After checking behind the outlet, I was able to drill a hole thru the outside wall, and run the wire to the camera. For me this worked great, but you may need an electrician if you don't have electrical training, (which I Have). Good luck. Check with Ring before doing any modifications.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi Andy, Thank you for bringing up cold weather as a concern for your Ring Solar Panel. This is an important factor to consider when employing battery-operated devices, as this may be what is causing your device to lose battery charge quicker. In freezing temperatures, the lithium-ion batteries begin to be impacted. Here are some specific temperatures to look out for: 36 °F (3 °C): The battery may not hold a charge as effectively, resulting in you having to charge the unit more frequently. 32 °F (0 °C): The battery may not charge at all. Even hardwired configurations may not charge the battery. -5 °F (-20.5 °C): The battery may stop working completely until temperatures warm up. If the battery is too hot or too cold, on-board software will keep it from charging to avoid damaging the battery. Bring the battery inside and allow it to warm to room temperature before trying to charge the battery. I would love to ensure your concern is being addressed fully, and would like to invite you to reach out to our support team for additional assistance: https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/213608406-Contact-Us Thank you, Ring Team
