Solar Panels for Pro4 Cameras

[DSZ]

Hello everyone.  I am new to this community so please bear with me.  I purchased three Pro 4 cameras in January and thought I might add the solar panels which I did a couple of days ago.  The cameras only work when the sun is shining directly on the solar panel.  It seems to me that the batteries, which were fully charged when I had the solar panels installed, have discharged after one day and are not taking a charge through the solar panel.  When I didn't have the solar panels installed the cameras with just the batteries lasted longer than two days.  Anyone experiencing this?  What did you do to it.  I am considering removing the solar panels and getting my money back.

There have been reports of solar panels depleting the batteries but I wouldn't expect that to happen to multiple panels/cameras. When the panels are connected and you check during the day, does the battery icon show a lightning bolt, indicating a connection and power being generated?
