- Excellent charging panelVerified BuyerReviewed by Drago - June 12, 2021
I just bought these. I've installed four of them in the last few days. Once connected, they began charging instantly. They were easy to mount and install. It was also easy to conceal the cords. I have limited data beyond that so I can't tell you how they hold up in various weather, how long they work, and how reliable they are. So far, the first charger was hooked to my number one camera two days ago. It quickly boosted the charge on the camera to 100% (took about two hours to go from 75% to 100%). Easy to install and easy to use, and the price was pretty competitive.

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend. - useful but no panaceaVerified BuyerReviewed by chip - July 18, 2021
Initially had problems obtaining charging from the solar panel but as the instructions indicated the target camera must be initially fully charged. The output of the solar panel seems low and does not top up to maximum but does successfully radically reduce the period when the target camera has to be recharged off line. Also to be fair the Arlo solar panel may not be receiving the most solar power over time during the day due to location Overall moderately pleased but does not seem value for money.

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend. - Beware of the Arlo Solar PanelVerified BuyerReviewed by grandma - November 25, 2021
I've had the Arlo solar panel charger for just over 6 months now. For the first 6 months is worked perfectly and I would have given it 5 stars. However, in the past month it has stopped charging and my camera now needs to be removed and charged inside every few days which defeats the purpose of the panel. I'm in contact with Arlo and it seems this is a common problem and has no resolution. Be very careful and mindful before you buy.

No, I would not recommend this to a friend. - Immediate and fast chargeVerified BuyerReviewed by MAVERICK - May 8, 2021
I have the essential camera in a high traffic area. On its own it lasted a good long while. Down to 24% remaining I thought it may have to come down in order to charge.. I installed this arlo solar panel on a sunny day ( I live in the North East). What a pleasant surprise it immediately began charging the camera and quite quickly. I recommend this product.

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend. - Love ItVerified BuyerReviewed by Spanky - December 18, 2020
The first solar panel I ever purchased. And I love it. I was going to use it with my Arlo Pro but it only works on the Essential camera/spotlight. I am glad I got it because it keeps that camera charged. I only wish the cable was not hard-wired because it is 8 feet long! I have shorter cables but now have to wind up about 4 feet!
