how can I tell if my solar is working or not?

I've seen lots of post about lack of Solar panel feedback... I have to charge my battery with USB every other week. I've NEVER seen the battery go UP in charge while plugged in, sunny days, hazy days, cloudy days - NO difference! help! are these panels defective? or ???

      Hey @Toadster! An increase in battery percentage or the reading in device health will indicate a charge being received. Keep in mind the results will depend on hours of sunlight received, usage, and other factors. Check out our [Community post](https://community.ring.com/t5/General-Questions/Device-Tips-Battery-Draining-Quickly/m-p/1136#M52) about battery draining for tips and tricks on optimizing battery charge. I hope this helps! :)

If you talking about cameras connected to solar panels then please readt this post if you have not done so already, as it seems nothing works as expected with RING lately: [https://community.ring.com/t5/Security-Cams/Spotlight-Cam-Battery-not-charging-with-solar-panel/m-p/16243#M3157](https://community.ring.com/t5/Security-Cams/Spotlight-Cam-Battery-not-charging-with-solar-panel/m-p/16243#M3157)
