The sunshine here is not strong and the camera is frequently used, therefore the battery is drained to 41%  with one Arlo solar panel charging.   I am thinking about adding one solar panel to enhance the charging.  Anyone know how to do it? need a part or hub or controller to connect two Arlo solar panel to one battery.  Thanks,

Not really possible....

Make sure the angle of the panel ..facing south of course and follow the following;

 

Quick and Easy method, Take your latitude and add 15 degrees for the winter, or subtract 15 degrees for the summer. For example: if your latitude is 40 degrees, the angle you want to tilt your panels in the winter is: 40 + 15 = 55 degrees. In the summer, it would be: 40 - 15 = 25 degrees.

Even if it's not full charging it, it will charge it some (so you don't have to take it down for recharging as often).

 

Mine keeps up reasonably well in the summer (even though the location is somewhat shaded).  Winter is a problem, because it's often too cold for the battery to charge.
