Solar Panel Charger for Ring Camera Battery (IP66 Waterproof, 5V 6W Fast Charging)
Product description
If your Ring camera battery keeps running low at the worst time, a solar panel setup can feel like a practical way to extend uptime. This Solar Panel Charger is designed for Ring cameras that use a battery, with the panel built for outdoor exposure (IP66) and installation made simpler with an adjustable mounting bracket.
That said, it’s not a “works with everything” accessory. It’s explicitly meant for Ring battery versions, not the plug-in or wired camera versions. So before you get excited about the weather-resistant part, double-check compatibility based on how your camera is powered.
The essentials
This solar panel charger is meant to keep supported Ring battery cameras topped up using sunlight, with an IP66 waterproof/dustproof design. It’s also described as cold-resistant and heat resistant for outdoor use within a stated range, and it includes the parts needed to mount and connect the panel. The pitch here is straightforward: fewer trips to swap batteries, and less dependence on regular indoor charging.
Where it makes the most sense is when the camera lives outdoors and can receive enough daylight. If your setup is shaded most of the day, the panel can’t magically replace sunlight—so expectations matter.
Key points
The compatibility is specific: it works with Ring Spotlight Cam Plus/Pro Battery and Ring Stick Up Cam (2nd/3rd Gen) Battery, and it’s not for Ring floodlight or Ring doorbell models. It also notes it’s not compatible with the “plug in” version and “wired” version—only for battery-powered camera operation.
On paper, the waterproof IP66 rating and the adjustable 360° + 90° bracket are the two biggest “buying reasons” because they address the real-world issue of where the panel is placed and how well it can face the sun. Installation is also positioned as beginner-friendly, with included mounting hardware and cable clips.
What to know before you buy
This is a battery-camera accessory, not a general Ring power solution. You may end up disappointed if your camera is the plug-in or wired type, because the manufacturer note says it can’t power those versions.
Another limitation to keep in mind: solar charging depends on your light conditions. If you mount it somewhere that rarely gets direct sun, you might still need to recharge batteries more often than you hoped.
Also, the package says the camera is not included—so you’ll just be getting the solar panel and the mounting/connection components.
Usage tips
A simple setup plan usually looks like this: mount the panel so it can “see” the sun, run the provided DC cable to the camera location, and use the included DC to Type-C adapter as needed for the connection path described in the kit. The flexible bracket (360° + 90°) is there for a reason—use it to angle the panel rather than assuming any default position will work.
Quick example: if your Stick Up Cam battery is mounted on a porch pillar, aim the panel toward the brightest sky direction you get during the day. Then tidy the cable with the included clips so it doesn’t hang where it can snag or collect debris.

Buying verdict
It’s a solid pick if you have a Ring Spotlight Cam Plus/Pro Battery or a Ring Stick Up Cam (2nd/3rd Gen) Battery and you want a more daylight-friendly way to keep the camera charged outdoors. The IP66 protection and angled bracket are the parts that matter most for day-to-day real use.
You may want to skip it if your Ring camera is the plug-in or wired version, since the note states it’s not compatible. And if your camera area is mostly shaded, solar charging can come up short compared to simply charging batteries directly.
