Solar Panel Options for Arlo Pro 2

I have two Arlo Pro 2 cameras outside and I want to get solar panels for them. The batteries aren't lasting very long. What solar panels work with the Arlo Pro 2? Any and all reccomendations will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I have 5 Arlo Pro cameras using the Arlo solar panels ant they have worked very well for me. The Pro 2 models should also work very well with the Arlo solar panels.

I can’t seem to find where to buy Arlo solar panels, I looked on Amazon and on Arlo’s website. Do you know where I can purchase them? Thanks for the info 🙂

I usually just run to my local Best Buy. They always have some on the shelf. Quicker than ordering on Amazon and there is no price difference.

Or, if you are in the UK, the seriously overpriced local version:

Honestly, they are OVERPRICED by 2x.
Unknown how long they will last.
Not like a 25 year warranty.
I found the 20ft cables easier option.
The ends are located where I can easily plug in the charger.

My guess is that any solar panels that can feed a USB device will do the job.

One would think the proper wattage/voltage solar panel would work. Of course there are warranty issues. If out of warranty, who cares?
It's your system.
