Customer Ratings & Reviews

A bit over priced but it does what it says on the box. Install is straightforward. Keeps camera charged with full sun for 6 hours a day.

Best thing for Arlo. We bought 2 solar chargers for 2 outdoor cameras. The white one is awesome and works like a charm even on cloudy days. The black one overheats easily and shuts down until it cools down.

The first solar panel I ever purchased. And I love it. I was going to use it with my Arlo Pro but it only works on the Essential camera/spotlight. I am glad I got it because it keeps that camera charged. I only wish the cable was not hard-wired because it is 8 feet long! I have shorter cables but now have to wind up about 4 feet!

I just bought these. I've installed four of them in the last few days. Once connected, they began charging instantly. They were easy to mount and install. It was also easy to conceal the cords. I have limited data beyond that so I can't tell you how they hold up in various weather, how long they work, and how reliable they are. So far, the first charger was hooked to my number one camera two days ago. It quickly boosted the charge on the camera to 100% (took about two hours to go from 75% to 100%). Easy to install and easy to use, and the price was pretty competitive.

So far it has kept my Arlo Essential fully charged. Easy to connect and set up. It is small enough to not stick out too much and I like the long cord too.

I am pleased with the Arlo security camera and couldn’t eat to get the Arlo Solar panels. Great find!

Easy install and works great, and helps a lot. I was recharging my camera every other day, due to it being windy and now my camera stays at 100%. If you notice it doesn't start charging when the sun is up, just adjust it, until you notice it charging.

This solar charger works great on cameras I have recently installed. I am a skeptical person, so I only bought one and tested it, and it works great, so I am definitely ordering more. Makes charging the cameras so much easier. Would recommend

Having a physical disability, I had the Geek Squad install four (4) Arlo Essential cameras and solar panels. Within a week, one camera ultimately died while connected to the solar panel. If it ever charges, it doesn't charge past 3% battery life. At no point have any of the cameras reached 100% battery life. All trees surrounding my house have been cut down, and I live in the Lowcountry of South Carolina, where snow isn't a factor. Because the camera covering the front of the house died, I bought a single Arlo Pro 4 and a compatible Wasserstein Solar Panel to go over the front door. That camera and solar panel have worked incredibly and have maintained a high battery life percentage. (Note) while the Technician finished installing the Arlo Pro 4, I asked that the Arlo Essential Solar Panel be adjusted to have better Sun contact. To my dismay, the camera didn't charge more than 8% and promptly died thereafter. This camera gets a two (2) rating because my other cameras have maintained a 30% to 60% battery, but now I noticed that one camera is now 20% to 30% range. If I ever repurchase Arlo cameras, I will only buy higher quality cameras that use the Wasserstein Solar Panel.

I use Arlo Essential Spotlight cameras to keep an eye on my cabin. Since the optimal placement requires the cameras to be positioned in places to get a wider view of the area, running extension cords is not optimal. The battery in the Arlo camera has approximately 6 months of battery capacity, but in northern Minnesota, cold is no friend. The Essential Solar Panel is incredibly easy to mount and connects directly to your Arlo camera. Since installation, the battery capacity has remained at 100 percent.

Great alternative power source. Easy to install and works well. It took a little while for it to connect properly after a little back and forth but it was wifi to phone related I'm sure. Anyways arlo is great and this is better for our environment. :)

Awesome product and one of tge best on market for property protection

Bought the Arlo Solar panel to attach to my Arlo camera and it works great.

Pretty solid camera for the price, definitely recommend

I’m no longer worry about a discharged battery while out of home.

I chose white because black was not available at that time. Good quality item, good price. What was also important is that it works with the Arlo Pro 2, that I purchased several years ago. I had to replace one of the original ones.

Very impressed with these solar panels. My cameras charge even when not in direct sunlight. (Which I don’t understand) but they work. I bought two of them.

Front solar camera not charging! Called for Tech to come out! Could not send some any one out for over a week! In the mean time, we are in protected, negates the purpose of having security Camera. Paid for the Geek Squard service plan. Poor service!

He did a good job while installing and also guided me the purpose for the Solar Panel it is not to recharge the Camera but to make it constant battery and prevents dropping it

I've had my Arlo Essential Spotlight Camera Solar Panel installed for about one week and it is performing as advertised after trying and failing to get a competitor's model to work -- THREE OF THEM FAILED. I went back to Arlo and all is right with my five wireless camera security system now, two Essential Spotlight cameras and three Arlo Pro 2 cameras. The $50 price for the Essential Spotlight camera solar panel was a pleasant surprise considering the Arlo Pro solar panel was $87 several months ago. I'm ordering another solar panel if I can find one available. BestBuy is out of stock.
