Ring Solar Panel Vs Ring Super Solar Panel

The Ring solar panel is Ring Inc.’s 1st solar panel, whereas the advanced and new solar panel is known as the ‘super solar panel.’ Both could function with Ring Inc. security camera however there are a few key differences. In design of new solar panel these factors are kept in mind: (a) The amount of motion events recorded per day is the 1st factor, (b) 2nd factor is solar environment. The output power of super panel is higher than solar panel and this is the only difference between these two panels.  However, the Ring Super Solar panel is the obvious winner in terms of durability and performance.
