UPDATE: in higher temperatures all returned to normal operation. Problem solved, topic to be closed.

Hi,

I have 2 A200 panels connected to C425 cameras. All worked fine until temperatures dropped to -10..-15C and lower for few days. Then both panels stopped charging and now when it is about -5C still don't charge cameras. Is this normal behaviour? Or should I start to worry...

TiA for any sugestions/comments

In low-temperature environments, especially below freezing (0°C/32°F), the charging efficiency of solar panels can be significantly reduced, and it is possible that charging may stop completely.

 

To check whether the issue is temperature-related, try placing both the solar panel and camera in a sunny spot at normal room temperature and see if charging resumes.
