Fewer manual recharges - with weather-resistant built-in solar panels
Built-in solar panels convert direct sunlight into a trickle charge and are optimised to extend battery life up to 35% longer than previous Ring solar charger generations. Recommended placement requires around 3–4 hours of direct sunlight per day for best performance.
Longer intervals between manual charging mean doorbell batteries rarely need topping up when mounted in a suitable sunny position, reducing maintenance for busy households.
Quick fit and secure mounting - with supplied bracket and fork connector
A secure mounting bracket attaches to the doorframe or wall and the fork connector links directly to the doorbell’s battery contact, matching the existing installation points on compatible Ring models.
Installation typically takes only a few minutes and often uses the doorbell’s existing screw holes, so fitting is straightforward for most homeowners without extra wiring.
Reliable outdoors year-round - with weather-resistant panels and wide operating range
Weather-resistant panels and an operating temperature range from -20°C to 50°C ensure the unit continues to harvest sunlight and supply charge in rain, cold and heat. A one-year limited warranty covers manufacturing defects.
Consistent performance across seasons means fewer interruptions to doorbell operation, particularly helpful in temperate UK climates with variable weather.
