Solar Panel Not Connected
Hi there I keep noticing on my ring cameras that sometimes they switch from “Connected” to “Not Connected” on the solar status. Sometimes they’ll fix themselves or if I go and unplug the solar panel and plug it back in to the camera it’ll come up as “Connected” again. Is this normal or anything I can try? Thanks

Same problem here. Will it show as not connected if it is not charged or completely dead? If so, that explains it

I had the same issue. For two years my ring solar panels were connected and working great. Just recently all my solar panels no longer show connected to my camera and door cam.

Mine are doing the same thing. I have called support over and over and they haven’t helped. They keep telling me it the temp outside which is BS. I wish they would do a firmware update to fix this issue

I'm having the same issue also. Early morning whilst still dark it says the solar panel is disconnected , after it gets light it's OK. All connections are fine, not that a connection would come loose and then fix itself at the same time every day!

Hi @ian0. I would make sure that you have a firm connection with the connector and that there is nothing obstructing it. If there is debris in the way, the connector might not be fully seated, giving an intermittent connection. Also, make sure the location of your Solar Panel is getting at least 4 hours of sunlight per day. I hope this helps!
