Physically installing your Solar Panel for Doorbells and connecting it to your Video Doorbell is a simple process. Scroll down for a step-by-step guide.

Note: You should complete the setup of your Ring Video Doorbell in your Ring app before installing the Solar Panel.

1. Select your install location for your Solar Panel

When selecting your installation spot for the Solar Panel, be sure to choose a spot that gets reliable Sun exposure every day. The Solar Panel can extend your Ring Video Doorbell battery life with just a few hours of direct sunlight per day.

To properly line up your Solar Panel:

• Use the Solar Panel’s mounting arm as a template.
• Mark the screw holes on your chosen surface with a pencil.

3. Drill holes (optional)

Optional: Use a drill to drill holes where you marked the position of the mounting holes.

• If you are mounting the Solar Panel on brick, concrete, or stucco, put the included plastic anchors into the holes. You may need to use a hammer to get the anchors in.
• If you are mounting the bracket on wood or vinyl, just use the included screws.

4. Put up the mounting arm

• Secure the mounting arm to the wall with the included screws.
• Tighten until snug.

5. Put up the Solar Panel

Slide the Solar Panel onto the mounting arm. Make sure it's seated securely.

Note: If you'd like to adjust the angle of the solar panel for better sun coverage, loosen the adjustment screw on the mounting arm, set your desired angle, then re-tighten the screw.
