Best Practices to Maximize Sunlight Intake for Wyze Battery Cam Solar Panel: Mounting, Positioning & Maintenance Tips

To optimize sunlight intake for your Wyze Solar Panel (Wyze Battery Cam Solar Panel), follow these best practices:
  • Mount in Direct Sunlight: Choose a location that receives the most direct sunlight throughout the day. Avoid shaded areas caused by trees, buildings, or other obstructions.
  • Angle the Panel Correctly: Position the solar panel so it is tilted upward at a 30° angle. This helps maximize exposure to the sun’s rays.
  • Face the Right Direction: In the northern hemisphere, point the panel south. In the southern hemisphere, point it north.
  • Adjust as Needed: The Wyze Solar Panel features an easy 360° mount, allowing you to adjust the angle and direction as the seasons change or as you notice changes in sunlight patterns.
  • Keep the Panel Clean: Periodically wipe the surface of the solar panel with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, or debris that could block sunlight.
  • Cable Management: Use the included 13-foot weatherproof power cable to position the panel in the optimal spot, even if your camera is mounted in a less sunny area.
By following these tips, you’ll ensure your Wyze Cam Outdoor or Wyze Battery Cam Pro stays powered for longer, harnessing the full potential of solar energy.
