I want to install a solar panel charger on the North side of my house, and have the panel face South. From what I can see online, the solar panel assembly cannot do that, ans Arlo provides no guidance.
Has anyone determined how to make such an installation?

The panel has to be close to the camera - the cable is only about 8 feet.
Some third-party panels might have longer cables - but not a whole lot longer. There's too much voltage drop (e.g. power loss) in the cable to get a really long run. (Arlo doesn't support third-party panels, and I haven't used one - so this is not a recommendation).

Understood. I was hoping for a way to mount the Arlo solar charger on the North face, with panel facing south. A custom bracket or adapter.

The panel has it's own mount (separate from the camera mount). So as long as the cable reaches the camera, you can do this.

I know that the solar charger has it's own mount. I see nothing in the solar charger product literature that makes me believe that the bracket can be fastened to a North facing vertical surface and have the panel face South.

I am confused on what you are asking. Maybe a photo or diagram would help.
But the mounts use a standard screw thread, so any third party mount should be compatible.
