Ring Solar Panel vs Super Solar Panel | Which one is right for you? 

It's refreshing to see a comparison that actually outlines the data that truly matters. Masterfully done, Sir.

I've bought the set as well and my learning is that you have to use the battery setup even when you wire it with the Solar panel. If you choose the wired setup your story is corrrect.and the battery runs out very quickly. However when using the battry setup it loses only 1 to 3 % during the night and with only a little bit of sun it will load the battery back to 100% in just 1/2 hour meaning that only 1/2 hour after sunset the battery is filly loaded again! And even in the heavest recording setup this is the case. So you're story is partly correct and only when using the wrong battery setup, So wired instead og battery. For me the smal solar panel works like a charme using the battery setup mode, conitnue recording sensitivity and taking a picture every 3 minutes (the 30 Sec option is only available for wired setup)

great job! normally, i dont leave comments but the fact that you took the time to break down the numbers for both and did it in a worst-case scenario was great. i was impressed. great job man. keep up the awesome videos.

Big lies guy don't believe this guy is all falls solar panels are really good

Thanks for this big dog. There’s not much information on these solar panels at all, besides this video

Do you need constant recordings made ? Is motion activated not good enough ? I feel most of it would be enough but if not a more tebust system would be warranted anyway

If only the reps at Ring could provide this kind of information! Great Job! Thanks

Oh oh. I only got the standard solar panel. So I have to take out the batteries and charge separately every few days?

My neighbor's system drives me nuts. He has it set so that the spotlight comes on every time a car goes down the street on either side of the road. This is ridiculous. He needs to set the perimeter to his yard only.

Great info. But if you want full function of camera why not get a wired one?

Thank you for taking the time to post this. This confirms that for motion detection activated recording in an area without a lot of activity that the small solar panel should have no problem keeping it charged. This begs the question, do they have a version of the solar panel that will work in Utqiaġvik, Alaska in December? =-). Sub and Like added!

Another option for those who have the spotlight camera is to have both batteries. But thank you soooo much for giving a genuine review

Great info...thanks for taking the time.

Bombbbb video !! One of the best detailed videos on RU-vid that answered all my questions!! 👍🏻 thanks

Why are you recording every 30 seconds??? Way to much recording. Just put it on people mode motion setting and it will only record when it detects a person in motion and your battery will stay 100%. If your doing that much recording you need a powered plug in cam.

I bought a camera with solar panel included, how do I know if the solar panel is working? Since the second day the battery has 98%. And with the panel in the middle of summer, 12 hours of sun. Ring

Good info! Honestly though if you need these devices to be recording nearly non-stop you may want to pursue plugging into a normal outlet and skip the solar. That said, most consumers probably don’t need always on video recording making both panels a compelling alternative to battery only

Ring Solar Panel And Super Solar Panel Only For Ring Spotlight Cam Battery!!!!

Ring Spotlight Cam Battery

I have an extra one of the smaller solar panels. Would it help if I connected both to my Ring doorbell? Thanks

This super panel is excellent. Works well for me. No complain. 6 stars.

Dude get a double battery spotlight cam with a solar panel

Seems like the solar panel doesn't have the small screws and adapter to hold the connector to the camera? The instructions still show it too.

Great detail. Very helpful

I have the same camera shown here, I’m getting 2/3 weeks with the battery… if I install either panels will it give me more days than 2/3 weeks? That’s my concern I don’t want to change batteries alll the time…to hard wired the camera will be to much work…do think I’ll get more days?

It's kinda sounding like overall the smaller Solar Panel is more dependable, meaning it will actually fully charge the device, whereas the larger one will only go 25%, which seems weird. Is it possible to use two of the smaller solar panels to charge one device? I don't like the idea of recording every 15 minutes because you may miss something important.

very helpfull, thank you!

Better consider plugging into an outlet

Easy Fix Use 2 Battery's. I Never Have An Issue And I Use The $60 Panel

Great review. I

I've tried both with plenty of sun and no luck. It seems like one needs a bigger one. I've added the dc charger that plugs to the camera and battery still runs low. I think since amazon bought out ruling its went to not so good

Just picked up a pair of the Wasserstein solar panels to hook up to spotlight cams as well as additional batteries. Hopefully it keeps them going for a while

What about the 4w panel?

can you join a second solar panel? Does it pay to have two batteries?

I’d imagine during the winter months, in the NE I’d need the larger panel unless I set it to record only when motion is detected, instead of every (insert number) minutes, similar to the doorbell.

im on day 4 with my stick cam and its still at 90% and no solar

Thank you for the video. This is very helpful.

Stop recording so much duh!

Awesome review thank you

Just bought two smaller ones. Had them on sale.

How the solor panel cable looks like?

Trying to work you point is, if you want to set the camera to record every min , it’s plain obvious you need a wired camera, just set it on the people only setting and it will last as it’s designed to do, this is a pointless video

Thanks. Ring is so misleading

I have the smaller panel and am very happy with it.

Very helpful and detailed review. Thank you.

Can it be split and support two devices

Well explained

Thank you so very much for the everyday people information. I was wondering what the difference between the two panels.

Great Video. Thank you. I was wondering about the plug from the solar panel. In the manual they mention two little screws to fix the cable in the camera. But the plug has no fixture to adapt the cable additionally with screws to fix them. As i can see in your video it don´t seem that the cables from the two panels have that two. Maybe for the current ones it is not necessary anymore to attach the cable from the solar panel additionally with screws? So plug in in the camera and that´s it. Am i right?

Does it charge on a cloudy day?

Thanks for the video, but why does the solar panel drain so much battery at night if it is not being used? I've noticed on my camera that the panel will drain the battery by over 10% even if it is not recording. Is this a problem with the panel? Thanks

So if I need to record frequently during the day and not record much at night because of reduced activity, would the super solar panel suffice? I live in a sunny area also

Very useful info!! Thank your for testing and making the video!

Very helpful. Thanks for sharing your findings

Great video. Subscribed.

And thanks for this video, very useful 👍🏾

Nice review. Thank you

How long does the ring camera need to be on to accrue $100 in electricity? I can see the solar option being great if you can't get power to the ring camera.

Good comparisons. I have to test which one works for me. Do they have the same Mount? I want to try the regular one first to see if it will last and don’t want to have to drill multiple holes

Really informative. I live in non-sunny are of the pacific northwest and am thinking about getting the Super Solar. Thank you.

do the panels have internal voltage regulators ?

Can the solar panel also connect to the Ring Door Bell 3? I thought about getting the solar mount for it but my patio has a roof and sunlight barely gets that deep.

❗️👉Great Content for the solar panels- very help descriptions, couldn’t find any information with the difference between ring panel & the other also your precise description on how to utilize the batteries while the solar panels is charging.

I thought the Eufy cam had a rechargeable battery that lasted several months. I think harwire is the best as YMMV.

Thanks a lot for the video. When I have my solar panel connected and the cam switches to „wired mode“, ist drains my battery within one day. Should I keep the camera on battery-mode? Otherwise, do you know if I can add a wired power connection to the StickUpCam Battery and do you have any recommendation?

Will one super solar panel work for all six of my cameras equally? Or I'd have to purchase a solar panel per camera?

Wired camera are best for 24/7 recording 🤣

Great video and information. Does having a 2nd battery installed in the Stick Up Cam allow you to get by with the smaller solar panel as opposed to the Super one?

GREAT VIDEO!!! It was very informative. Thank you very much

OMG It drives me crazy to hear people refer to objects as "THIS GUY." JUST AS BAD AS "THESE ONES." LOL
