We all wish! If in fact they become available in March (don't hold your breath) it woul be nice of Netgear to offer them to current owners before they distribute them to retailers. People like us are the one's making these camera's popular, a little customer support would go a long ways.

I too am looking forward to the solar panel. One of may cameras is in a high traffic area and I am down to 5% after 3 months. Would be great to hook up to the solar panel an not have to worry about charging. We will just have to wait I guess.

The is a video on youtube from the CES show where they showed one off. No info on when we can buy one though.

I too am interested in the Solar Panel as I have two cameras in my back yard that are quite high for security reasons and getting a ladder out to get the cameras down to charge is going to be a pain. I hope they come out with the panels soon.

I tried it, and it didn't work with the Arlo Pro. It plugged in just fine, but the Arlo Pro didn't get any charge from it, even under direct sunlight.

Don't forget that the camera requires 9v to charge.

I agree on offering the panels to previos customers first andvsoon. My front entrance is on a higher resolution (for obvious reasons) i only get 5 to 6 weeks out of a charge. Not Good.

It doesnt look like anyone from Arlo actually reads these requests. That is unfortunate.

Acually, "James" the Community Support person from Netgear is on this site but has offered us little or no information on this solar panel. In January he said it would be available in March which of course never happened. Just last week he was on this site telling us he had requested an update on the solar panel arrival but apparently that never happened either.

Seeing that these solar panels are being made (assuming they are being made) in Asia, add in shipping time to that and I bet we're looking well into summer.

It's just to bad that Netgear thinks so little of it's customers that it won't even give an honest update of it's products. I gurantee you that someone at Netgear knows the exact status of these things.

I apologize for the lack of communication on this topic.

Update: Target availability for Arlo Solar Panel is mid-May.

The Solar Panel is a must have for the Arlo Pro and should have been released together with the product from a Product Management perspective. With the Solar Panel the possibilities would be endless, one should truly achieve set it and forget it capability. That's killer for Marketing campaigns Netgear - Wire free and Worry free!!! Waiting with baited breath for the release.

Mid May huh? Some reason it isn't showing up on your website? I am guessing mid May 2018?

Re: Arlo Solar Panel Waitlist

irishnd2001 — Tue, 02 May 2017 12:27:04 GMT

Will it *actually* be available in mid-May, or will it be like the charging station, which has supposedly been available for months but in reality is backordered everywhere?

Did you know Arlo now has a 4G camera? Looks like they are advancing their technology in other avenues but are not working on customer requests to inprove on existing issues. Not good Netgear. This thread just might make it to an open forum.

Hi James,

Do you perhaps have an update for us on the release date of the Solar Panel?

Thanks
