Customer Ratings & Reviews

I was so happy to purchase this just to find out that the cabel that’s connected to it doesn’t fit my 2nd generation ring camera even though it says for Ring video doorbell 2nd generation. The plug that’s connected to it is a micro usb and my 2nd generation has a usb c not micro so why would this be for a 2nd generation when 2nd generation has usb c

Installed in April and haven’t even come close to thinking about taking it off to charge inside. It keeps it close to 100% all the time. I love this product so much. Installation was zero hassle as well

It fit the Ring perfectly. I bought this because I didn't want to have to charge the Ring and I didn't have wires for a wired device. Easy install. Only downside is that I couldn't get it anchored into my siding and it's not flush to the house.

Love it and excellent quality nice to review long lasting battery

Easy installations. I did it myself. Now i dont have to remove the ring door camera to charge it.

After 1 year+ I finally decided to write my findings, The solar "charger" doesn't actually charge the battery but instead just kind of helps to prolong life....I still have to take the doorbell down and plug it in about once every 5-6 weeks, which IU guess is better than once a month....

Took my time installing with my new Ring Video Doorbell 2nd Generation and discovered it’s not recharging out of the box. Waiting for Wasserstein customer service to get back to me.

This product was easy to install and works great When it’s sunny it registers in the ring app, when it’s dark or cloudy it doesn’t show up in the app

Easy to install, camera always charge. Better to place direct from the sun

In full sunlight, the charger does a great job. I live on the Illinois - Wisconsin border and my camera faces north. Also, it is under an overhang. I hope I painted a fair picture of what the solar panel is up against.. When I mount the charger on the southern exposure of my house it does a fantastic job of charging. But not on my north facing main street entrance with the overhang. I want to be fair to the expectations of anyone purchasing a solar charger of any kind. They need fairly direct if not at least a bright exposure to the sun's rays. What I like from an installation point of view is the recess for the connector cable. Perfect!. The rubber ribs (see photos) seal out any water of other elements from the rear of the doorbell. The four (4) mounting holes are nicely spaced. The charger is fairly large so it may not fit most brickmould on most houses. Not a problem if you can mount it in a convenient location on the wall or door itself. Aesthetically, it looks sharp. Carbon forward for those interested in the world of sustainability. I do recommend this for those with sufficient daily sunlight. Since the doorbell's battery can last a long time once charged, hazy days won't affect it.

The Wasserstein Mountable Solar Charger For Ring Video Doorbell is a great addition to Ring Video doorbells, especially if the doorbell is in a location without existing wiring. Set up and installation was very simple, although there is a key piece of information to know when setting up the solar panel. In the ring app, it will not show up as connected until the solar panels have had time (quite a lot of time) to charge. I thought for the first several hours I had received a defective unit. In the screenshot attached to this review, you'll note that it doesn't show up as a "solar" powered unit - but once the solar panels have had a good day of sunlight, it does power the doorbell well. Interestingly, the Ring app doesn't see it as a solar powered unit when it's had a chance to charge (see second screenshot). I think that may be a software issue with Ring. I don't know how well the solar panels will keep up with the Doorbell, especially in a very harsh midwestern climate. But overall, the concept is great and I expect it to be very useful. Definitely a thumbs up from me.

I knew I did not have the ideal conditions for a solar charger for my Ring doorbell. My porch is covered and faces north but I could not find much information about how well it would work (or not work) in my conditions so I thought I would be the guinea pig. It didn't work for me. It is well made and was easy to install. The section of the doorframe where it's installed is narrower than the unit but I was able to install it firmly with 2 of the 4 screws. I am sure if your doorbell faces south and gets direct sunlight for much of the day, this will help extend the battery life of your Ring!

The one that bothers all users of battery operated devices is that at one point the battery is eventually going to wear off and is in need of replacement or recharging. The ever popular Ring Video Doorbell is no exception (unless it is wired) is no exception to this. And while the Ring has decent battery life of around two to three months, I must admit it is a hassle the charge the Ring doorbell since you have to unscrew it from its base and charge it for several hours leaving you unsecured during that time. But of course, you can always get a spare battery so that you can just replace it immediately. But the lower priced models no longer have a replaceable battery. This review is more for Ring models which do not have a replaceable battery. So the most obvious solution to that if you do not have a wired option is to have solar option for that. Here comes the Wasserstein Mountable Solar Charger For Ring Video Doorbell 1 (2nd Generation 2020). Of course the Ring has its own. But sometimes availability and pricing may influence your decision making. Designed similarly like the Ring solar accessory, the Wasserman Solar Charger is a wall mount with solar panels on the side. You must attach your Ring (I have the Ring 2020 version) to the base which as a USB connector to ensure that your Ring doorbell is being trickle charge. (As of now I couldn’t tell how fast it could charge my doorbell. But I am confident that this product can help in the battery in a charged condition all the time.) There are screws to fasten your Ring to the solar charger and there definitely mounting screws for your wall. And if that’s not an option, 3M double tape should do the trick. And I myself am having second thoughts on drilling my brick wall. That said, using the Wasserman solar charger is easy peasy. I’d highly recommend it to others.

I used this on my driveway gate so when I come back from my bike ride I can summon my kids to open the gate for me. I had ring doorbell sitting around and I decided to try it on it. It took about 4 days to get it up to 60% and it sustained it at 60% after initial charge. It needs full sun light so placement is key. If not and you only have sun for certain parts of the day you won't get best use and also depending on use your battery will drain. You need to tweak your settings to maximize. Anyway if you have minimal use and you want to be off of wired and not be required to constantly have to charge your ring doorbell. This would be the product for you. Would recommend based on my use.

The reviews were kind of in between both good and bad but for the price, I decided to purchase anyway. The installation was easy enough. Had to use a drill since I have my doorbell set up on a brick wall. I installed it back in August and to this day (October now) I have not had to unplug it to recharge. Battery has not gone under 75% which is amazing since I used to charge it every 3 weeks or so! The sun hits directly on my camera so I'm sure that's also helping.

Installation was easy, but its not the best.. it just won’t charge well enough. Even now, it’s 100F outside, but still need charging. It just helps to add little extra life sometimes

This was the best investment to add to my ring doorbell camera because I was getting tired of having to recharge the battery every three months. Which meant I had to disconnect everything and plug the camera in inside so I wouldn’t have coverage for about 12 hours until it was fully charged. With the solar charger it’s so convenient no worries.

I return it. I didn't give it time to see if it worked. The little time I had it I didn't think the solar worked in the location it was at. I just updated the ring camera with the battery one I like that one better. Less charging time.

This product wasn't charging my ring doorbell, I thought it was but I had to take the ring down and plug it in for it to show who was at the door.

The ring doorbell i have does not fit the solar panel i bought. I called ring and the solar panel for my model was discontinued. However they do sell one that is universal and sits away from the doorbell. This allows for better positioning for sunlight. Everything was great with the panel until i went to place the doorbell in it and it just didn’t click into place and again it turns out it was the wrong model. But it was easy to set up
