Trail Camera Solar Panel, WingHome Solar Battery Charger Kit 12V/1A 6V/1.5A with Build-in 2000mAH Rechargeable Lithium Battery IP66 Waterproof Hunting Accessory

After ten months my camera stopped working. It appeared as though the solar panel battery was almost dead because I only got one light when I pressed the charge indicator button. Now I'm in Georgia and we've had 100°,bright sunny days for at least a month. This solar panel is facing south and should have no issues getting sunlight. Also the battery in the camera is the lithium rechargeable battery pack, which was going dead on me after over two years. So just now I realize that this solar panel does not recharge any batteries except it's own. When the lithium battery pack went dead on my camera, the camera died. It didn't matter how much juice was in the battery pack on the solar panel. I don't know if this is supposed to be the case or not but I bought a new lithium battery pack for the camera and I'm putting the original solar panel back on it. I'm going to take this one down and use it for another camera. My suspicion is, if I put an empty battery tray in this camera,then the camera will have no choice but to use the solar panel battery for power; so the next camera I buy I will not get the battery pack form so I can test this theory. I'm not going to change the review stars yet because possibly I should have known this before I started. I was under the impression that it would use the solar panel for primary power and the lithium battery pack would just be there as a pass through and I was mistaken. Works good so far with my tactacam. The original battery pack was starting to give me issues after two years. I have the SK unit which came with a solar panel and I'm not sure if it just isn't big enough or if it was the battery but I've had to charge it several times over the last few months. This was the same price as a new battery pack so it was a no brainer. Note that Tactacam is a12 volt system. The strap holds it on pretty well. I did not want to put a screw in the tree.

***UPDATE*** see updated comments at end of previous review. I am leaving my earlier comments to show how an initial review often leads to a wrong impression... My apologies to the seller for the earlier bad review. I purchased the WingHome Trail Camera Solar Panel a little over 3 months ago, intending to use it as a 12V power source for the rear-view camera on our RV. Out of the box, it worked exactly as expected. It was incredibly convenient to mount the panel near the camera, avoiding the hassle of running 12V wiring through the motorhome. For our first two trips, it performed flawlessly. Unfortunately, on our third trip, the internal battery was completely flat and wouldn't charge—even when exposed to direct sunlight all day. I was able to temporarily revive it using a 12V adapter, but the unit no longer held a charge or supplied reliable power for the duration of the trip. The solar panel itself provided zero usable output at that point. This was a major letdown, especially considering the product had over 1,300 reviews and a solid 4+ star rating. In hindsight, I wish I had paid more attention to the 1-star reviews, particularly the one titled “Do not buy, they die within a couple months.” That turned out to be exactly my experience. For a $60 battery pack, I expected much better quality and reliability. Unfortunately, this was a total bust for me. Bottom line: Not recommended—short-lived and unreliable. Update after further testing: After working with the WingHome Solar Panel for a few more days, I realized my initial review was based on a misunderstanding. The unit itself did not fail. The issue was that the internal battery capacity wasn’t sufficient for my specific setup. Even in bright sunlight, my connected camera would stop operating after about 4–5 hours because the batteries were fully discharged. Once depleted, the solar panel alone couldn’t produce enough current to power the camera and recharge the batteries at the same time. When I disconnected the camera, the solar panel was able to recharge the batteries without issue, and they were again able to run the camera for another 4–5 hours. In other words, the product works as advertised—it just needs more battery storage for my application. I plan to keep this unit and will order an additional solar battery pack with higher capacity to extend runtime.

I have purchased 4 of the WingHome Solar Battery Panels over the past year. They are easy to set up and work great with my with my trail cameras. These have an internal battery that is kept charged by the sun. The camera is then powered by the solar panel’s battery. Even in partial shade, via my cellular trail cameras, the battery level never drops below 85%. No more trips to pull camera cards or change batteries. They ran seamlessly through the cold winter months and snowy season. A few months ago, I stopped getting photos on one of the cellular cameras. I decided to switch cameras to see if it was the camera first. Same problem. I then brought the solar battery panel home and tried to recharge it with the AC adapter that comes with it. It would light up the led lights showing it was getting power but it was still not working. I emailed the manufacturer, WingHome and explained the issue and asked if they had any suggestions. I received a reply within a few days. After trying a few other suggestions and emailing some photos and a copy of my Amazon invoice, the company is going to send me a replacement at no cost. That is great customer service! I will continue to purchase more of these as I add more cellular trail cameras.

Works well at a good price

Awesome little panel! Easy to install and works great! The instructions say to manually charge for up to 5 hours before using, but it only took 2 hours to charge in the wall before it was full. Mine has been out a week and the camera still shows 100% charged. Would recommend and will buy again for my next camera. UPDATE- I now have 4, one for each camera… 3 years in… haven’t had a single issue Update - dropped 1 star - the panels are still going strong after another year. However, the cables get chewed up by critters. Had to replace them all with chew proof cables. Other than that - would still recommend! It would be nice though if chew proof cables were included since these are designed to be outside.

Well when I first got it. Packing was nice had everything I needed for my trail camera. Charged it. Tested the output at the 12volt adapter 12.67 volts. Put into to use in the woods. Started to notice my cell camera was saying it had low voltage. So went out to the woods on a sunny day just to make sure the panel was in direct sunlight and it was. Brought the panel back home and checked the voltage 5.2 volts. Recharged the solar panel over night. Rechecked the voltage at the 12 volt adapter 12.67. Reinstalled it back into the woods. 3 days later low volt signal coming back to my cell camera. Checked my battery pack voltage 6.6volts so now this is telling me the solar panel is not working. Once again brought the panel back home left it in direct sunlight all day to prove a point. Pressed the power button all 4 lights came on. Checked 12volt out put 12.12. Pushed the power button again The first light came on and then started to flicker.. Checked 12 volt output ( .3 volts) so batteries inside will not hold a charge on the solar panel. Emailed customer service and have heard nothing back. This unit is just two months old and is faulty. I get things go bad. When a company can not take time out to reply back and make it right. I have no need to business with them anymore. So if they had a minus stars for a review they would get all 5 stars. Do not waste your money. Only reason I thought I would give them a try is Tactacam was out of solar panels at the time. I have 5 cell cams with Tactacam solar panels and my battery packs have been at 100% since July on my cell cams.

Love this panel. On my second one. First one lasted about 2yrs. #2 is working on little over a yr. Just make sure it’s pointed in the sunlight. Had to bring it in a charge it back up.

Compact size, and a very good mounting system that allows us for many different angles in positions. The mount also seems very sturdy, being made of metal. I like the versatility this offers, given the fact that it has multiple size cables for use with different cameras. It comes with a one year warranty, and a card is included that offers you a free extended 1-year warranty if you contact customer support.

Ich habe diverse Solar Panels ausprobiert und mit dem hier am besten gefahren. Ok, es ist etwas teuerer, aber der integrierte Akku und die Möglichkeit 6v aber auch 12v Geräte zu betreiben ist super praktisch.bisher keinerlei Ausfälle, auch wenn die Sonne mal nicht da ist Das Gerät selbst ist handlich, hat einen Knopf um den akkustand anzeigen zu lassen (4 rote led für je ein Viertel Kapazität, vorher Geräte abhängen), bzw man kann erkennen ob es lädt (laufende led) Klare Kaufempfehlung ✅ integrierter Akku ✅ lädt auch ohne volle Sonne

THIS PANEL IS VERY WELL BUILT AND SEEMS TO WORK VERY WELL, EASY TO SET UP. SELLER IS VERY GOOD WITH VERY FAST DELIVERY

Like wildlife cams but they don't half eat through batteries - 8 at a time. Since fitting this I've not needed to change batteries once as it appears to have fully powered the cam since.

Fonctionne parfaitement avec ma caméra de chasse Spypoint Flex G-36, se maintient au dessus de 75% même l'hiver par temps très froid -30 Celcius. Moins de capacité de celle fait par Spypoint mais moins cher et suffisamment puissante. Elle est en fonction depuis 7 mois déjà (juin 2025 à janvier 2026).

Not bad
