Solar option - 2 cameras or just 1?

HI im have two arlo pro 3 cameras next to each other on a building site mounted up high so the cant be tampered with and was wondering if its possible to get a cable to feed two cameras instead of one to go with the solar panel

No, they put out just enough for one camera. ( and no cable available )

It's solar powered, how can there be no splitter option, that just doesn't make any sense......unless Arlo is trying to force people to purchase 2 solar panels. If the solar panel is so substandard that it can't power 2 cameras at once, then Arlo needs to go back to the drawing board.

You have seen the size of the panel, right? The solar panels, all 20 of them, on my house only put out a max of 4.2kW and they cover the entire roof facing the sun. I don't know what technology is used for the Arlo panels but home panels are less than 20% efficient.

For my Arlo Go the solar panel is too small to keep my camera charged. Can you suggest a larger solar panel?
