Important note: Ring solar-power devices require three to four hours of direct sunlight a day. If your installation area is frequently very cloudy or gets a lot of rain or snow, this could limit the amount of sunlight that your solar power device receives.

Filtered or indirect sunlight through the clouds will not provide a charge to your doorbell. When mounting the Solar Panel, be sure to look out for overhanging branches or the shadows of nearby objects that may block the sun.

Installing your Solar Panel

You can mount the Solar Panel directly into wood using the provided screws. If you are mounting to brick, concrete or stucco:

  1. Mark the holes where you wish to mount the Solar Panel.
  2. Drill holes for the anchors.
  3. Insert the anchors.
  4. Use the screws to secure the mount.
