Ring Solar Panel 2nd Gen 5W charger for Stick Up & Spotlight 📷

This solar charger panel by YUELAN is a compact 5 W panel designed to keep Ring outdoor cameras and their battery packs topped up with minimal maintenance. It targets users who want continuous power for models like Stick Up Cam, Spotlight Cam Plus and Spotlight Cam Pro, offering a simple USB-C connection and multiple adapter options to match existing camera plugs.

Key Points

The panel supplies up to 5 watts of solar power and includes three cable connectors: Micro USB, USB-C and a barrel connector. This makes it compatible with a range of Ring cameras and battery modules according to the manufacturer. It is sold as a pack of two panels in black, which helps to maintain camera runtime without frequent battery swaps. For best results the manufacturer recommends at least 2 to 3 hours of direct sunlight per day, and charging performance will depend on sun exposure and installation angle. ☀️

Usage Recommendations

Mount the panel where it receives maximum direct sunlight for a few hours each day, ideally aimed to capture midday sun. If you attach it to a camera bracket or a nearby surface, avoid shadows from trees or structures that reduce the light hitting the cell. The included adapters let you choose the port that matches your Ring model so you can plug in without additional tools. 🌞

For installations where the camera is shaded much of the day, place the panel separately in a sunnier location and run the cable discreetly to the camera. Be aware that partial shade, cloudy conditions, or low winter sun will reduce charging speed and may require supplemental recharges. This solar kit speeds up replenishing the camera battery, but it does not eliminate the impact of seasonal light variation.

Advantages

Using two panels from the same pack increases the chance of steady charging during variable weather and provides redundancy if one panel becomes partially shaded. The USB-C connector offers a modern, reversible plug that simplifies connections and aligns with newer Ring models. The small footprint and mounting flexibility make it useful for porches, sheds and other exterior spots where wired power is impractical. 🔋

Consider that the panel’s 5 W rating and the manufacturer’s sunlight recommendation imply realistic limitations in regions with long stretches of overcast days. Mounting hardware and exact cable routing are not listed, so you may need basic DIY supplies to secure the panels in your preferred location.
