Hi, I'm thinking about mounting the VMA5600 solar panel for use with an Arlo Pro 3.  However, the Pro 3 is mounted on the north side of the house, so it won't be in direct sunlight.  Would it still work?  Has anyone tried it?

Found that the panel charges a few hrs before and after high noon.... don’t think it will work well unless it sees sun

I get some charging on cloudy days but prolly not enough to keep the battery well-charged. The brighter the light hitting the panel, the better. A bright blue sky may be useful - only testing would tell.
