Hello, my camera is not charging from solar panel 2 months already. I did so many stepsand nothing helps. I discharged it, unplugged, factory reseted, nothing helped. Can I know what else to do, or you can send me another solar or camers so it will work properly...actually i had so many issues since i bought it 6 months ago...

If you are worried that the solar panel is not working well, please provide the following information on this thread for further analysis.
- The detailed problem phenomenon.
- The model number and MAC address of the Tapo battery-powered camera. You can send me(@Solla-topee) the MAC address via a private message.
- Has there been any extreme weather like heavy rain?
- Was the Tapo Solar Panel able to charge the camera before the problem occurred? If so, how long was the Tapo Solar Panel functioning normally?
- Photos of the locations that installed the solar panel and camera.

Please verify whether the camera can be charged with the power adapter.
Have you enabled the Solar Charging Data (camera Device Settings > Battery Status > Solar Charging Data)? Please share a screenshot of the solar energy output data here (the last graph on the Battery Status page).

Hi, yes solar charging data is enabled. I can charge it from the power adapter, what is strange is that when i charged it from the power adapter last two times itshowed me that it was charged from Solar based on the graph. but then when i installed it back outside its not showing anymore and its not charging from solar

>> Can you take some screenshots, before and after?
Please also provide the screenshots of other charts on the Battery Status page. Check if the battery level chart turns green when the solar panel is connected, if it is, that means the battery is getting charged.

Based on these screenshots, you can see that when I charged battery from power supply it showed that i charged it from Solar. There are no data before and after because Solar didn't work and it's still not working.

- Try unplugging and re-plugging the charging cable.
- Make sure the Solar Panel and Camera charging cable are plugged in tightly.
-
Tilt the solar panel slightly upward to maximize its exposure to direct sunlight.
-
Clean the solar panel with a dry cloth.
If the problem still persists, I recommend getting a replacement first. Contact retailer or local TP-Link support to proceed with the warranty.
