Installed Arlo solar panel model VMA4600 with Arlo Pro camera. Has been working - charging fine for 10 days. Now getting a message " Incompatible charger has been detected. Connect a compatible Arlo charger.. For more info , see KB article for Charging Faults." Looking for advice.

The usual suspect is moisture having gotten into a connector. Try removing the cable completely and drying things out fully before rinserting the cable. Take great pains to ensure both ends are fully seated which can be really difficult to do.
