Customers are saying

Customers have good things to say about the easy installation, long battery life, and solar-powered feature of the product. They appreciate that the solar panel is convenient and efficient, helping to keep their cameras charged without the hassle of constantly replacing batteries. However, some customers have concerns about the charging effectiveness, compatibility with older Arlo cameras, price, sunlight requirements, and occasional instances of the solar panel not charging.

    It works. But is it worth it?

    I bought this because I needed a panel for my fourth Arlo camera. I had already ordered a three pack of Wasserstein panels from Amazon. As it turned out, my local Best Buy had a single Arlo-branded panel so I figured I would try it out to compare the expensive Arlo panel with the cheaper Wasserstein units. So far, as far as performance, the two types of panels are dead even. The camera batteries are full every day there's enough sun to produce electricity. The only real test will be to see if one panel lasts longer than the other. So at least for now, I'd say the $50 Arlo panels are not worth the extra $15 over the Wasserstein panels I got for less than $30 each. Save your money.

    I was putting in new Arlo cameras at a house in Peoria, AZ and there was no close outlets. I picked up 2 solar charging panels and connected them to the cameras. I made sure the batteries were charged as instructed before connecting to the solar panels. The batteries have remained fully charged since then even though there have been a few overcast and cloudy days.

    If you have Arlo Ultra cameras this is a must! When I first purchased my cameras I would have to recharge them with a cable. Using these solar panels they stay charged and I don't have to worry about them. Very sturdy, well made product. Easy to install.

    Super easy to mount. The floodlight was completely dead and with the solar charger connect to it on a foggy day it was able to withdraw some sunlight to charge the light up to 60% by the end of the day. Definitely recommend

    These solar panels make the security cameras so much better. The app on my phone lets me know how charged they are (each camera and solar panel) and we don't have to worry about charging them up. Makes our life easier! Easy to install!

    I installed this to power our backyard camera which gets a lot of use due to plants swaying in the breeze, animals, etc. It works great! It keeps the battery charged up and I don't anticipate having to swap out the battery anytime soon. I've noticed that the battery sometimes gets down into the 80% range at night but if it's a sunny day, the charger will get the battery back up into the 90% range and sometimes 100%. It's important to make sure the panel is placed where it can get sun most of the day. I placed mine facing southwest.

    I was very hesitant to purchase solar panels. I just had my doubts that they would work. After deciding that I did not want to climb on ladders to switch out batteries I decided to try them. What a great decision. I have a 3 camera ultra system plus a floodlight for the driveway. I only bought 3 solar panels even though I had four cameras total. After almost three weeks of use all three cameras with a solar panel are 100% charged. The lone camera that does not have a solar panel was around 79%. I have since been back to the store and purchased a fourth panel for my last camera. I highly recommend trying them.

    Full disclosure: I live in a fairly wooded lot without a ton of direct sunlight. These works surprisingly well. I installed 2 of these on my cameras. The first was installed with a fully charge battery and the other way installed on a camera with a battery with 15% left. The fully charged battery is staying at 100% even with activity. The other camera stays pretty much around the 15% mark. That is my experience with these. Use them to maintain the charge, not to actually charge a battery. Unless you are going on vacation for a week these will never charge a dead battery.
