The item under review is a solar panel.
This solar panel has been very helpful in recharging the camera, the Sun has moved out of range for recharge during this time of year, but still provides a little more time between battery exchanges. I do wish that the cord was longer for better placement.

Hi CraigG.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We understand the importance of having a solid charge on your Ring camera so that you are able to have a longer time between charge cycles. Having a solid connection ensures you do not miss any activity around your home. We are here to provide you with some information to resolve the issue you mentioned in your review.
It sounds like the device is not performing as expected. There are some troubleshooting steps that you can take to ensure that you have your Ring Solar Panel set up for optimal performance. The device's battery level may vary based on the amount of direct sunlight the solar panel receives. It is important to ensure that your Ring Solar Panel is installed correctly and that it is receiving enough direct sunlight to operate as intended. For best performance, Ring recommends at least two to three hours of direct sunlight for the Ring Solar Panel. With the recommended amount of direct sunlight, the device will remain continuously charged under most conditions.
Make sure there are no obstructions or objects that could cast a shadow on your solar panel, such as an extended roof, tree, or bush. Seasonality and how far north (or south) you live can affect the strength of the sun. If you live in the Northern Hemisphere, install your solar panel facing south. If you live in the southern hemisphere, install it facing north. Ring recommends using the adjustable arm to angle the panel at about 45 degrees toward the sky to get the most sunlight possible.
If any additional information is needed regarding your Ring Solar Panel, please reach out to our community. Ring Community is our first peer-to-peer community forum, giving our customers the ability to help one another and share their feedback and experiences directly with Ring.
Thank you, Miyuki from Ring.

It works great! I have had this for a month now and my Ring camera has not lost any power. I feel pretty confident as being away from a vacation property that this battery will not deplete.
It was really easy to install. Simply choose the location where you will receive the most sunlight and screw in the bracket, place solar panel and your done. Pretty happy with it.
Only problem I had was it was a little pricey. However, for me it was a small price to pay for not to worry about batteries dying as I am gone from these seasonal vacation homes for 6 months.

Extremely useful especially if, like me, your camera is not in an easily accessible location. The installation is quick and easy, plus the available extended wiring helps if your panel needs to be a bit further from your camera.
We've had extremely strong winds over the past month and the panel survived it - I was surprised given how exposed it is to the elements

We brought some Ring outside cameras and wanted the convenience of solar power to charge the batteries. It's been over a year since we used these and they still work great. Keeps the battery charged with no issues. If there's ever been a problem of low battery (constant motion alerts or multiple cloudy days), the next day of full sun will fully charge the battery with no issues.

I recently purchased the 4 W solar panel for my Ring camera and I am extremely satisfied with my purchase. The installation process was a breeze and the solar panel has been extremely reliable in powering my Ring camera. I love that I no longer have to worry about constantly recharging the battery or running out of power during extended periods of use. The added benefit of being eco-friendly is also a huge plus for me. Overall, I highly recommend the 4 W solar panel for anyone looking to power their Ring camera for an extended period of time without the hassle of constantly recharging the battery.

It's a great purchase, and I am not disappointed by its ability to keep my security cams charged. If you're thinking about purchasing it, please, go ahead and do so!

I had to replace a solar panel which provides power to my backyard patio RING camera so I don’t have to get up on a ladder to replace the batteries. The solar panel itself had come loose from the stucco wall and fell to the ground which caused it to break. I had a handyman come here to install the new panel and he used longer nails than what the manufacturer provides.

Must have accessory for high mounted lights or cameras. This keeps a charge on your batteries and limits the need to change/charge batteries in high places.
