I live in an area that gets mostly cloudy, rainy days. Will the Solar Panel work for me?
The answer to this question varies based on the yearly weather at your location. Ring solar power devices require 3-4 hours of direct sunlight daily. If your installation area is frequently very cloudy or gets a lot of rain or snow, this could limit the amount of sunlight that your solar power device receives.
The solar charger or solar panel requires direct sunlight. Filtered/indirect sunlight through the clouds will not provide a charge to your doorbell.
Installation
Where can I mount the Solar Panel?
The Solar Panel can be mounted anywhere on a wall or a roof, but should be placed in an area that gets at least a few hours of direct sunlight each day. When mounting the Solar Panel, be sure to look out for overhanging branches or the shadows of nearby objects that may block the sun.
