Solar Panel | Tapo A200

Awesome, saves me from charging

I bought this solar panel to attach to my Tapo C425 camera and within 2 days the battery went from 60% to 100% and has remained there since! The camera is located high on my house and requires a long extension ladder to access, so have the solar panel is a definite benefit.

Charges super fast my tapo camera and easy to install

Was very impressed how well this charged my Tapo C420 camera. Once sunny the charger went from 30% to 100% in about 4 hours. Only issue is the cord is not very long, so consider buying an extension USB outdoor cable.

Update: I made a more accurate note of the time and charge this morning - I plugged it in at 9:15 when it was at 44% charged and at 10:15 it was at 54%, so 10% of a full battery charge in just an hour. It will easily keep the camera fully charged up.This seems to have a toughened surface rather than the smooth flat panels I'm used to seeing, which will hopefully hold up if we get any hail (although it's going to live on the side of the house that's usually more sheltered).It does the job - I put it out about an hour ago on what is a rather dull cloudy morning and it's already raised the battery on a Tapo C425 by 1%, so I expect it will easily keep a camera fully charged even if it sees a lot of use. I love having a graph of the output in the camera app!Comes with a nice long cable so the panel can be positioned where makes best sense to get the sunlight rather then it being limited to right next to the camera.An hour after originally posting this the sun came out, and the battery is now at 96%, up from 90% when I first plugged it in.
