Please know that our solar charger, if placed in maximum sunlight exposure, can significantly prolong the battery life of your Ring doorbell and eliminate doorbell downtime due to charging. We do recommend that you charge your Ring Doorbell to 100% before installation to ensure maximum charging efficiency.
Please also note that the charging speed varies according to sunlight exposure (direct vs. partial). Therefore, it will charge 1% of the battery every 2 to 5 hours.
Can we also get a picture showing where your solar charger has been placed, just so we can check if there is maximum sunlight exposure? Make sure that your solar charger is pointed toward the sun and not obstructed by other obstacles. Sudden changes in temperature may affect your solar charger’s charging abilities.
Also, we noticed that there was a recent firmware update from Ring that made the doorbell drain more energy. We suggest you to turn off the Snapshot Capturing Function for a better solar charging experience.
If it still doesn't work, 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 is a must have for the Ring battery charging. I`ve not had any issues and the doorbell hasn`t had a low charge yet, even with several rainy cloudy days.

I would not recommend getting this product. If you're home doesn't get a lot of sun light it would not help charge the ring.
