Can I use the Solar Panel/Super Solar Panel with my Ring Doorbell?

If your installation area is frequently very cloudy, this could limit the amount of sunlight that your solar charger or solar panel receives. The solar charger or solar panel does require direct sunlight, so filtered or indirect sunlight through the clouds would not provide a charge to your doorbell.
Where can I mount the Solar Panel?
The Solar Panel can be mounted anywhere on a wall or a roof, but should be placed in an area that gets at least a few hours of sun each day. When mounting the Solar Panel, be sure to look out for overhanging branches or the shadows of nearby branches that may block the Sun.
