Customers are saying

Customers are delighted by the extended battery life and ease of use that the mountable solar charger provides for the Ring Video Doorbell. Many find the installation process simple and appreciate the overall performance with their existing systems. However, some customers have reported issues with the device not charging their doorbell camera and compatibility problems. A few customers also noted that the solar charger's size and dependence on direct sunlight could be improved.

    I’m actually really impressed, I didn’t think it was gonna work as good as it does. It keeps the battery charged without any issues. I’ve only replaced the battery once just as a precaution because it is sitting in the sun. But they work fine. This thing charges it perfectly. (sidenote) you need to make sure that it’s in the sun, at least it gets 4 to 5 hours preferably more of direct sunlight , and you should not have any issues whatsoever. Totally worth the money.

    This has helped with the battery but it’s important to make sure you have the right style for your doorbell. Also, only concern I have is how it’s changed in what and how things are picked up with the camera now. Tried to reset and double check all settings. They are the same just now does not always pick up and alert.

    A bit disappointed. Charger gets about 4 to 5 hours of direct sunlight a day and still can't seem to keep a decent charge. Reading other reviews I thought I might get away with those 3 to 4 hrs but it appears lots more direct sun is required. My fault for not throughly reading specs prior to purchase!

    It didn’t fit my need, the side’s did not fix to be mounted to my home,I so needed it, perhaps you can make solar panel with just the top and bottom, leave side off so it will fit in to the baseboard of the home.

    It has held steady but every so often we still have to dismount The Ring and charge it in the house so it is not getting enough charge outside and that was the whole purpose of getting this.

      Hi,

      We’re sorry to hear about your experience with the product and we apologize for the inconvenience this has caused you. The solar charger is designed to continuously charge your Ring Video Doorbell using solar energy. Please try to dismount the solar charger and place the solar charger under direct sunlight for a few hours so it can harvest enough solar energy. Then mount the Ring Video Doorbell again and see if that will work. Please check your Ring App also, to ensure it's being charged and not just rely on the Ring Light indication. If none of these helped, please get in touch with us via email at [email protected] and we will resolve the issue.

      Best regards,
      Your Wasserstein Customer Success Team

    This works perfectly in keeping my ring charged! I waited to write the review to make sure it is a good product. After months of rainy, overcast weather my ring doorbell is holding steady at an average charge of 80% - love this!

    Cannot be certain if works. On day one it showed charging, but I cannot seem to catch it working again and already recharged doorbell separately. Going to change location and test, then update

    Gets the job done, instructions could be better for install. I think I was missing screws, as they screws used didn't work the best. Overall I got it to work, but it took some adjusting to get the ring doorbell to latch onto the solar case.
