Frequently Asked Questions
How many hours of direct sunlight does my Solar Panel need for my Ring device to stay charged?
For best performance, Ring recommends at least 2-3 hours of direct sunlight per day for Solar Panel. With the recommended amount of direct sunlight your Ring device will remain continuously charged under most conditions. Make sure there are no obstructions or objects that could be casting a shadow on your Solar Panel, such as an extended roof, tree, or bush.
How can I install my solar panel to get the most sunlight and the maximum solar charge?
Seasonality and how far north or south you live affects the strength of the sun. If you live in the northern hemisphere, install your solar panel facing South. If you live in the southern hemisphere, install it facing North. Ring recommends to use the adjustable arm to angle the panel at about 45 degrees toward the sky to get the most sunlight possible.
Will my Ring Solar Panel keep my Ring Device charged at 100%?
Ring devices are designed to hold their charge around 80% battery level to help extend the lifetime of the battery. When using Solar Panel to power the battery, the charge level will vary based on the amount of direct sunlight. With maximum sunlight, the device’s battery will not exceed 80%.
• Ability to recharge varies based on device settings, usage, and sun exposure in the area of placement.
Will solar power keep my Ring device charged during cloudy or seasonal weather?
Ring solar products requires direct sunlight to stay charged and provide power to the device. If the weather is cloudy or it rains/snows, this would limit the direct sunlight your device receives, which would lessen the charge. Colder temperatures may also cause excessive drain to your device’s lithium-ion battery. With prolonged cloudy or winter weather, you may need to manually recharge the battery more frequently. When sunny weather returns and the solar panel receives enough direct sunlight again, it will keep the device powered.
What is the benefit of combining Battery Video Doorbell Pro with a Solar Charger?
Adding a Solar Charger extends the battery life of your Battery Video Doorbell Pro using the power of the sun. With 3-4 hours of direct sunlight every day, your Battery Video Doorbell Pro can stay charged even longer than before. Battery life varies based on device settings, motion notifications and sun exposure.
