Solar Panel Observation

[alien_scones]

Is it only me, or has anyone else observed that adding a solar panel to the ARLO Go only makes the battery drain faster? 

Two deployed cameras with recharged batteries set out at the same time. 

One that has a functioning solar panel is at 30% and the other (with a solar panel, but never shows charging) is at 70%. 

in the meantime, for your viewing pleasure - whitetails snacking during a Texas thunderstorm:

Can say there are blocking diodes on the solar panel, so the panel shouldnt drain the battery ( back feed )...

as to why one drains faster, it could be signal levels for the Go to reach the cell towers.

As to not charging, When tested, I found the panel only charged a few hours before/after noon in bright sun..at other times, not enough sun to charge ( or make a difference ) ... check the sun angle in your placement to assure good sun levels
