Solar Panel for Ring Camera (2 Pack) — Solar Charger for Ring Stick Up and Spotlight Plus/Pro Outdoor Cams
Product description
What this is (and what it’s not)
This 2-pack Ring solar panel is designed to power battery-powered Ring outdoor cameras through solar charging. The key detail is that it’s built specifically for Ring battery models such as Stick Up Cam Battery/Pro and Spotlight Cam Battery/Plus/Pro. If you’re shopping for a Ring doorbell, wired/Floodlight, or any plug-in model, this one won’t be a match.
On paper, it’s a straightforward way to reduce how often you have to manually recharge your camera batteries—especially for setups where the camera already gets decent daylight most days.
Key takeaways on performance
The panel uses monocrystalline cells (listed as 23.5% high-efficiency), and the manufacturer’s expectation is that you’ll see meaningful “backup” charging with roughly 3–4 hours of direct sunlight each day. That’s the whole idea: keep the battery topped up so your camera doesn’t constantly drift into low-power mode.
The real-world limitation to keep in mind: solar charging is always dependent on weather, seasons, and how much sun the panel actually receives. Results can also vary based on camera activity (how often it records/moves).
Installation and placement that doesn’t fight you
Where this kit feels practical is the mounting and aiming approach. It includes a 180° adjustable bracket and a long 13ft charging cable, so you can place the solar panel where the sun is best, then angle it toward the light without needing to rewire anything.
You mount, angle, and plug in. If you’re the type who wants an install that’s “good enough and done” rather than a project, this is closer to that style. That said, you still need to choose a spot where the panel can actually see daylight—otherwise the best mounting hardware won’t save you.
Weather resistance for outdoor setups
This charger is rated IP68 waterproof, built for outdoor exposure and described as durable against rain, snow, heat, and strong wind. If your camera is outside year-round (or you get rough weather), having an IP68-rated panel is the kind of baseline that helps.
If you live somewhere with long stretches of heavy cloud cover, you may still see slower charging than you’d want—IP68 protects the electronics, but it can’t create sunlight.
What you get in the box (why it matters)
This package isn’t just “panel + cable.” It includes:
- Two solar panels (each listed as 2.4W) with DC barrel cable
- Two mounting brackets
- 6 screws and 6 wall anchors
- Two Ring DC to USB-C adapters
- A user manual
- A 12-month warranty plus a 30-day money-back guarantee
Having the DC to USB-C adapters in the kit is useful, since solar setups often fail due to compatibility gaps between parts. Still, double-check that your exact Ring battery model is one of the supported categories, because the listing is explicit about what it does not work with.

Who it suits (and who should skip it)
It’s a solid pick if you want a solar-backed way to keep a Ring battery outdoor camera running with less manual recharging. It especially makes sense when the camera’s location is sunny enough, or when you can mount the panel separately using that long cable and the adjustable bracket.
It might not suit you if: - Your setup is indoors or in a shaded spot where the panel won’t get direct sunlight. - You’re trying to charge a Ring model outside the battery categories listed (doorbell, wired, floodlight, or plug-in types). - You expect solar to fully replace charging regardless of season—solar can reduce recharge frequency, but it depends on actual sun and camera activity.
Everyday use example
Imagine you have a Stick Up Cam Battery mounted under an eave. The camera itself gets only patchy light, but you can mount the solar panel on a nearby wall section or fence area where sun hits more directly. You angle the panel toward the sky, plug it in with the 13 ft cable, and let it do the daily upkeep. You still monitor battery levels, but you’re aiming to avoid frequent “bring it inside and charge” routines.
Mini FAQ
Will this work with any Ring camera?
No—this is made for Ring battery-powered cameras (including Stick Up Cam Battery/Pro and Spotlight Cam Battery/Plus/Pro). It’s not compatible with doorbell, wired, floodlight, or plug-in Ring models.
How much sunlight does it need?
The listing suggests around 3–4 hours of direct sunlight each day for the best chance of keeping the battery topped up. Results vary with weather and camera activity.
Is it safe to use outdoors in bad weather?
Yes, it’s rated IP68 and designed for outdoor durability in rain, snow, heat, and strong wind.
Final verdict
Is it worth it?
Worth buying if you’re running a compatible Ring battery camera outdoors and you can mount the panel where it gets real direct sun. The adjustable bracket, long cable, IP68 rating, and included Ring DC to USB-C adapters make it a practical “install and forget” style setup—aimed at reducing manual recharging.
Skip it if you’re not sure your camera model is one of the supported battery types, or if your panel location will stay shaded most of the day. In that situation, the limitation won’t be the hardware—it’ll be the lack of sunlight, and you may still end up charging manually.
