Arlo Go 2 not charging with Solar Panel

[daviddlv]

Last month we purchased a few Arlo Go 2 cameras for our rural land to monitor for trespassers. We also installed the solar panels. Everything was working fine until this week. Now the solar panels are not charging the cameras. Here is what happens.

We unplug the solar panel wire from the camera. Wait a few seconds, plug it back in. Icon on the app shows a lightning bolt thru on the battery. In direct sunlight the camera charges to 100% quickly. As the camera is used, the battery % depletes downward, but even in full sunlight the battery never charges. We have to kick start the charging by unplugging the solar panel wire and plugging it back in. But after the battery reaches 100% it starts draining from use and does not charge.

This is happening on all 5 of our cameras. Some of the cameras are 30' high. I don't want to crawl up there every week to unplug a wire.

What can we do to fix this? It's very annoying.
