    <title>topic Solar panel issues in Arlo Essential Outdoor 2nd Gen</title>

    <description>&lt;P&gt;I am having trouble wit the solar charging. I understand they are not meant to charge the battery from dead, But I live in Arizona and my panels are in direct sunlight. From my understanding you should see a green sun icon, under each camera window on the app, if it's working. All I see is a gray solar indicator with no battery charging indication on the battery, in the same window.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The battery's are not lasting long, even with out any activations and not even turned on a lot. I don't think the solar panels are&amp;nbsp; adding anything to the battery's.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;My main question is, Should the solar indicator show as green and the battery show a lightning bolt&amp;nbsp; if they are working ? Or are they just that weak and worthless charging the battery at all, even just maintaining the charge, even with little activation.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thank you.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Are these Arlo Solar panels or a third party solar panel?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
