Please ensure you have done the following:
1. The Solar Panel is consistently in direct sunlight. It can absorb the most solar energy when it is in full sunlight for as much of the day as possible. The Solar Panel harvests energy from the sun to charge a connected Arlo camera. 2. Make sure that your solar panel is pointed toward the sun and is not obstructed by trees, buildings, or other obstacles. 3. Sudden changes in temperature may affect your Solar Panel’s charging abilities. 4. The USB charging cable is snugly connected to your camera. 5. The batteries have been fully charged to 100% before being connected to the solar panel. 6. Please take note that the Solar Panel is designed to keep your Arlo camera’s battery fully charged but heavy usage of your camera can drain the camera battery faster than the solar panel can recharge it.
Additionally, because of Arlo’s firmware updates, you will need to update to the latest APP to see the screenshot to show the solar panel is charging.
If this does not resolve your issue, please get in touch with us via email at [email protected] and we will resolve the issue. Best regards, Your Wasserstein Customer Success Team

We purchased in June 2019 . The first I did was charge my camera to 100% 2 i securely attach usb cable 3 it did show it was charging but it seemed to drain the battery quicker.. So I contacted the Company and they are sending me out another solar panel at no charge ... So I would say 1st solar panel could be no good . But willing to try another one.. and will do another review when the new solar panel comes in.. I will say Excellent Customer service

Hi,
We’re sorry to hear about your experience with the product and we apologize for the inconvenience this has caused you. This solar panel is for Arlo Pro, Pro 2 and Arlo Go and Light models. It should be compatible with these models and you should be able to plug it in. However, the cable only comes in one length. We'd like to know how the product did not work for you so we can help resolve it. Please get in touch with us via email at [email protected].

Hi,
We’re sorry to hear about your experience with the product, and we apologize for the inconvenience this has caused you. Arlo's firmware would occasionally detect and disable third-party chargers. The known solution to it will be disconnecting the charging cable and reconnecting again. Please try to press in firmly when doing this. If this did not resolve the issue, please get in touch with us via email at [email protected], and we will resolve the issue.

This panel works great in powering up my camera system wirelessly. I don't like cords displayed out my home so this panel was a great selection
