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.

    It will only work with the second version of the ring video doorbell, the back panel is different on the original.

    Works OKAY as long as it's in direct sunlight. Won't work on a shaded porch or on a cloudy day.

      Hi,

      We’re sorry to hear about your experience with the product and we apologize for the inconvenience this has caused you. You can place the solar charger under direct sunlight first before connecting the doorbell. This will allow the solar charger to harvest solar energy first to keep your doorbell charged. The charging speed in direct sunlight is approximately 4% every 5 hours. In partial sunlight, it is approximately 2% every 5 hours. If this did not help, please get in touch with us via email at [email protected] and we will resolve the issue.

    This ring door bell works so good. It’s easy to use and the fact that I can access the activity through my phone is wonderful. I recommend this product. I also got a ring subscription for $30 a year. I can review the motion right then when the alert goes off. No theft at my house.

    It barely keeps it charged. I put it in a sunny spot and turned off snapshots. I still have to pull it off and give it a full charge every couple of months.

    It was a pain to have to remove the Ring every few months to charge the battery and we like to travel so we couldn't recharge. We've had the solar charger for a couple of months now so I can tell you it's working and recharging. This is a great addition to our Ring.

    I've had it for about a month now and its working great so far. I was worried it wouldn't work because the front of my house only gets late afternoon sun light. It continues to keep the Ring door bell charged, even in below zero temperatures.

    This solar charger was on sale when I bought my battery operated ring video doorbell. It is a no brainer. Super easy to install and you shouldn't have to ever pull your battery to charge it.

    Wasserstein Solar Charge.... waste of money!

    I was tired of removing the ring and charge it in the house... so I purchased the Wasserstein Mountable Solar Charger For Ring Video Doorbell. I did not have a doorbell. I thought solar would be the answer. Shame on ME! Best Buy came out and installed this... guess what? It does not work by solar! Look at the weather we are having... 90 degrees and sunny! I still have to remove the Ring and charge it! Waste of MONEY! And Best Buy was suppose to come out and remove the solar panel so I can return it! That never happened! Oh well, strike this up to experience. Very unhappy!
