I purchased solar panels for 4 of 6 essential cameras. They are from arlo. I installed all for. 2 on fully charged cameras. They had green active solar and battery icon charge indications on the app. The other 2 were only showing non highlighted icon not charging. I then found out batteries should be fully charged for the solar panels to maintain a trickle charge. Why did the two active panels let my cameras drain the batteries. All panels now showing not active.  Anyone else having issues.  Also why does Arlo sell products in cold climates knowing the camera won't charge in those climates?

The cameras will trickle charge. Depending on how much motion/activity and how many recordings are done per day, this will affect the cameras battery percentage.
