2nd Gen doorbell with solar panel

I've owned a 2nd gen doorbell since just after xmas last year and I'm now trying my 2nd solar charging setup, as I returned the 1st solar panel that sits behind it, thinking it was useless. I now have the full sized solar panel which also does not seem to charge my doorbell at all. I can say this as my stickup outdoor cam, and my outdoor siren are both connected to these panels and the cam is always 100% charged since installation, but after about a month my doorbell is down to 87%. Could I have a defective doorbell as this doesn't make any sense. The app says solar power is connected but never shows or says charging, even with the nice sunny days we had a few weeks ago.

- HI've reset the doorbell but the battery level is still going down, at 84% now. As I mentioned before, my stickup cam is still charging and currently at 100%, so why not my doorbell ? They are both facing exactly the same direction.•

- J@hobnobrob2000. As mentioned in the solution, if you have tried the troubleshooting steps and your Doorbell is still not taking a trickle charge from the solar panel, give our support team a call for further assistance.•
