I purchased the solar panels for my ring, outdoor camera doorbell system, and they have been working just fine… I had my handyman install them- and I’ve had them up for about two years now and they have not had any issues… I’m happy with my ring doorbell system And the solar panels were the right choice for me to not have to get a ladder out and mess with batteries and potentially fall off the ladder, which we all see the videos on IG, as well as the price to hardwire everything was going to be way over $1000 so this fit perfect in my budget, and the security of knowing I can instantly pull up my cameras on my iPhone. Highly recommend

Excellent value. Work just like the OEM solar panel but lower cost. Please be aware it is not compatible with newer ring camera having USBC charging port. An additional adapter is needed

The solar panel doesn’t have to be the same brand as your camera as long as it connects. Love that this also came in a two pack! Just make sure your ring battery is fully charged first and then the solar panel does a great job in keeping it topped up. Do not try to go in with a half empty battery or something expecting the solar panel to charge it up. It’s not how that works! We went in with a full battery, connected and put up the little solar panel. It’s literally been 3 years at this point. We’ve never had to recharge the battery, it’s always being topped off by the solar panel. Granted I live in a state where it’s mostly sunshine. YMMV if you live in a place with much longer winters and less sun but it’ll still be great. You’ll definitely still have to charge it less than if you didn’t do the solar panel (unless you straight up wire it to your house). This solar panel works perfectly and costs less than the brand name. So worth it. The newer cameras did change their charging port to be USB-C so you’ll need to pick up an adapter. It’s very cheap and all that combined this is STILL cheaper than the brand name version of the solar panels!

Solar Panel for Ring Spotlight and Ring stick up

This solar panel is doing a good job keeping my stick up camera charged. I live on acreage in a rural area with a long driveway and have this installed on a power pole as far out as I can while still having wifi. There is no power plug nearby and with high driveway traffic the rechargeable battery went dead quickly and charging was a pain in the butt. I have not had to charge it once since adding this solar panel! It keeps the battery above 80% all the time, and usually at or close to 100%. Very happy with it!

I bought this same brand as opposed to the ring solar panels years ago and they have held up since. I bought two more for new camera set up at a different location. Easy to set up and at the price you really can’t go wrong. They easily keep two batteries charged at almost 100 percent on both so they do the same job as the ring brand for a fraction of the cost. Save some money and give these a try

I should’ve bought these when i bought my Rings. Instead i bought extra batteries smdh. If you put these up when its dusk or dark outside, they wont kick in until daylight hits them. You’ll see a sun on your battery symbol when you look at the settings for each camera. Installation was super easy. The cord between the solar panel and the camera is really long. I have a camera over my door and its covered. I was able to go 5 ½ feet away from the camera to put up the solar panel. I just wrapped the excess cord around the solar panel mount. No more climbing ladders to remove batteries to charge them. You do need batteries in the camera, but you wont have to remove thrm to charge them anymore.

So easy to install and so far, haven't had my battery ring camera below 95%. I live in so cal, so we are pretty sunny the majority of the time, but even on a cloudy day, I noticed that the camera doesn't dip that much. And it's not as large as i thought it was gonna be, so it's not that noticeable.

We are very pleased with our purchase of these solar panels to keep our Ring Solar-Powered Spotlight Security Cameras fully charged. So far they work great and I have not seen the power level of either of our 2 cameras fall below 98%. They were very easy to install and seem to hold up well to rain, wind, and extreme heat. They are considerably cheaper than the Ring Solar Panels and appear to work just fine.

These are great and I have them on several outdoor stick-up cams. They keep the battery fully charged and they are less expensive than the Ring brand. Save yourself the time and headache, this is a must have for outdoor Ring devices.

I recently purchased the Wasserstein Solar Panel (2-pack) for my Ring Spotlight and Ring Stick Up Surveillance Cameras. Though I had to return them due to the specific shade conditions around my home, I am still compelled to leave a glowing review based on the product's intrinsic merits.
Sleek Design & Build: Right out of the box, it’s evident that these panels are built with precision and care. Their sleek design not only complements the aesthetics of the Ring cameras but also ensures they don't stand out obtrusively when installed.
Efficient Energy Conversion: On days when I was able to test the solar panels in good sunlight, they delivered impressive performance. The efficiency of energy conversion meant that even on less-than-sunny days, the panels were able to capture and convert sufficient energy to power the cameras.
Easy Installation: I'm no handyman, but the installation process was straightforward. The kit came with all the necessary tools, and the instruction manual was easy to follow. This made the setup process smooth and hassle-free.
Economical & Eco-friendly: Over time, these panels can lead to significant savings. Instead of continually purchasing and replacing batteries, the solar panels provide a one-time solution that harnesses renewable energy. It’s not just friendly on the wallet, but also on the environment.
Responsive Customer Service: After realizing the shade issue around my home, I reached out to Wasserstein's customer service. They were understanding, provided potential solutions, and made the return process seamless. It’s rare to find a company that stands so firmly behind its products.
In conclusion, while my personal circumstances meant I couldn't continue using the Wasserstein Solar Panel for my Ring Cameras, I believe they are a top-tier choice for anyone looking to harness solar energy for their surveillance needs. If your property has a good amount of sunlight, I'd wholeheartedly recommend giving these panels a shot. They’re a testament to how green technology can be seamlessly integrated into our daily lives, all while offering stellar performance.

This is my second time purchasing these panels, first ones were installed about 5-6 month ago and have worked great so I decided to go ahead and set up the rest of the cameras with the solar panel. It’s a great investment, save me a lot of time and I don’t have to be worried about remembering to charge the batteries manually. They have worked great so far.

Solid product that gets the job done! These are priced very reasonably in comparison to other solar panels (for example the Ring brand ones). I have a Ring brand solar panel for the doorbell and use these for the Ring cameras and I notice no difference. So this is a great substitute, does the same job at a greater value. Highly recommend.
