  Hi @Tikijack. The [Solar Charger](https://ring.com/products/solar-charger-for-video-doorbell-3) or [Solar Panel](https://ring.com/products/solar-panel-for-doorbells-2-3-plus-4) for Ring Doorbells do not have a USB connector because there is not a USB plug on the Doorbell for this purpose. The Solar Charger or Solar Panel for your Doorbell connects to the terminals on the back of your Doorbell to provide a trickle charge to the battery, as long as the panel is receiving adequate sunlight. This is not going to charge the battery as quickly as plugging it in with the original charging cable, but can help extend the amount of time between manual charges. We recommend at least 4 hours of direct sunlight per day, though the battery life will still depend on how much activity the Doorbell experiences. Cloudy weather or other obstructions to direct sunlight, such as trees or porch coverings, will also impact the panel's ability to provide a trickle charge. You can learn more [here](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360061517732-Solar-Charger-and-Solar-Panel-for-Ring-Doorbells-troubleshooting). Additionally, ensure the panel is securely connected to the Doorbell and is free of any dirt or debris. If your Solar Charger or Solar Panel is receiving adequate direct sunlight and you have reduced any excessive activity, but the battery is not receiving a trickle charge, please follow up with our [support team](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/213608406#callus) to take a closer look.
