Solar Panel for Ring Gen2 can the cable be extended
troubleshooting

I recently purchased the Solar Panel for Ring Doorbell Gen 2 and as the doorbell in on the north facing side of the house I have managed to install it on the east wall so get morning sun.  However I would like to put this on the back (south wall) to increase the charging time.  Can I extend the cable or is their an extension available

    Hi @user_8da095. No, there are no extension cables available for the Ring Solar Panel for Doorbells. As long as the Solar Panel is receiving approximately 3-4 hours of direct sunlight per day, this should be sufficient to provide a trickle charge to the Doorbell's battery.

      Thank you for the Reply, I can confirm that recently it has been getting 4-6 hours of direct sunlight but the battery level is still dropping.  It say Solar is connected even when it is dark!.  Why it does not show charging is beyond me.  So I feel I may need to return the Solar and look to Hardwire the power
