Customer Ratings & Reviews

Very happy with this product. Easy to use easy to install. Excellent pictures.

I bought 2 panels, both works ok. One sees full sun all day and charges the camera to 100% quickly. The other panel sees full sun for 1/2 day. It charges the camera slowly, about 1o percentage points a day. I did not like the mounting brackets that came with the panel and bought different ones with longer reach and better swivel adjustments.

Like other reviews have said, it works. I have several 1st gen cams with panels and they STAY charged. I have 2 2nd gen cams and i needed a solar panel for 1. It’s in direct sunlight til about 3 o’clock then trees block it. I set it up this past Sun (today’s Thursday) and it charged from 15%-58% since then. It DOES charge, just VERY slowly. Arlo should’ve kept the panel the same size. This new one is about the size of your cell phone. You’re better off charging your cam to full battery by plugging it in and THEN let the panel maintain that charge.

Works very well and has a long cord to Connect it To where it get sun And we'll charge the device. I am very happy that I bought it. It saves me a lot of time. I have the camera over where my dog is. And that kills the battery on a daily basis before I got this solar charger

The solar panel 100% trash. Rather go on amazon and get the Wasserstein brand. Have had the new arlo solar panel for over two months still has not charge two XL spotlight 2k arlo cameras to 100%. Have rhe Wasseestein over 3 years and continuously never dropped undee 90% even when we have few days of rain. Arlo should be ashamed of this poor quality of a solar panel. Please don’t waste time or money on these. Wished I would known this before hand but Best Buy only give you 2 weeks to return and my day was already reached by the time i took them down.

Sometimes it charges sometimes it doesn’t. We have another panel for our floodlight camera in a similar location. There’s no issues with that panel charging except for once a year in the winter during dark and extremely cold days. This panel is inconsistent and in a location that actually gets more sun compared to the other one. We’ve had to remove the camera it’s attached to multiple times and just charge it manually. 3 stars for semi-convenience. And that’s being generous.

Good product, works well and looks good m. Must but

Small and mighty. This panel keeps my camera charged. It is not very noticeable like some overly big panels and I love that it is small and not bulky .

The Arlo Essential mountable solar panels help keep my cameras charged.

Easy installation with compatible camera. I am using with Arlo essential XL 2nd generation cameras. Keep your camera charged..

Easy to install. Works great. Keeps the camera charged as described.

Keeps the cameras alive a bit longer. Provides a trickle charge but it’s better than having to take the cameras down and charging them often.

This works so well. I havent had to charge my camera since I bought this. 8 ft cord so that you can place this anywhere to catch the sun. I will definitely be buying again for my other cameras.

Did not work for my arlo spotlight essential even though the sales person said it would it did not. Had to return it.

The solar panels are actually OK but do not buy the cameras to go with it

This is better then recharging the unit, it’s a peace of mind

Easy to mount and is a must if you don't want to mess with charging the battery, I have several set up

Excellent product. So happy to have purchased it. Very compact. Not as large as its initial ones. Works great.

Easy to install and no more getting on a ladder to pull the camera down to charge. Definitely going to get a panel for all my cameras.

THESE SOLAR CHARGERS WORK IN ALL TYPES OF WEATHER WITHOUT FAIL. IT IS ONE LESS THING FOR ME TO WORRY ABOUT.
