It also eases the nuisance of having to take apart the Ring to get the battery out.
And in doing so, it also helps reduces your electricity bill too.
With the summer months looming, it's the right time for a Ring Solar Charger in the UK.
"I've had mine since the end of February and I've not had to charge mine since," one buyer on HotUKDeals previously wrote.
"Really made a difference for me."
But others cautioned it won't keep the battery going forever.
"It has decreased the frequency of me needing to change the battery but it really doesn't keep it topped up all the time - even in direct sunlight," another commented.
The Ring Solar Charger normally costs £40 if you buy from Ring directly.
At the moment, high rated eBay seller Red Rock UK has the official device listed for £19.95.
But there's a special discount code that drops the price even further.
Ring introduces new doorbell security features
Add discount code MAYPAY20 at the checkout and it'll knock the cost down to £15.95.
But the code is only valid until Sunday.
Will the Ring Solar Charger work for me?
According to Ring, battery-powered doorbell can stay charged even longer than before with just three to four hours of direct sunlight every day.
"For best results, install facing south if located in the northern hemisphere; install facing north if located in the southern hemisphere," the company says.
It's also important to point out that the Ring Solar Charger only works on certain models.
These are:
Ring Doorbell 3
Ring Doorbell 3 Plus
Ring Doorbell 4
Ring Doorbell Plus
Ring Doorbell Battery Pro

Save £122 on Shark carpet cleaner that 'deep cleans better than professionals'
"Incredible bit of kit, it's transformed the carpet, lifting out dirt the professional grade vacuum couldn't get out." Keeping your home tidy can feel like a thankless task at times. You've only just run the hoover round the place and it's already getting mucky again. Every once in a while, it's good to give your home a proper deep clean, really rolling up your sleeves and getting into those areas you've been neglecting. For many people, paying someone to come in and do it for them just isn't an option. There is, however, a product that can get your carpets looking brand new without having to repeatedly fork out for cleaners. And shoppers have been so impressed with it they say it is far better than turning to professionals. The product in question is the Shark CarpetXpert HairPro Pet Carpet Cleaner. Shark is one of the big name brands in household cleaning, with the cordless vacuums among the most popular cleaning tools on the market. However, with the big name often comes the big price point. In this instance, though, the Shark CarpetXpert is enjoying a discount of more than £120 on Amazon. Normally retailing at a hefty £349.99, you can currently snap one up for £227.70 - a 35 per cent discount. This model comes with five tools to make sure every section of the carpet gets the deep clean it deserves. Shark CarpetXpert HairPro Pet Carpet Cleaner Product Description According to Shark, the CarpetXpert has been built for pet homes; eliminating cat and dog mess and odours, including urine. Meanwhile, its anti-clogging and anti-tangle technology sends heir straight to the dirty water tank. The carpet cleaner's dual-activated solution gives 20 times more stain-removing power vs Shark's Deep Clean Pet Formula and its high-pressure spray and powerful suction gives deeper cleaning than a regular vacuum. Elsewhere, the Bissell ProHeat 2x Revolution Pet Pro Carpet Cleaner, which boasts a 4.8 rating, is £299.99. Or for those on a bit more of a budget, the Vax Compact Power Upright Carpet Cleaner is £90 at Argos. However, the Shark CarpetXpert has attracted rave reviews on Amazon, where it boasts a 4.6-star rating and is a designated Amazon's Choice product. Shoppers hailed it for "transforming" their floors. One satisfied customer said: "I am amazed by this machine. I recently had all carpets professionally deep cleaned but they didn't come up anywhere as good as the results obtained from this Shark. "I wasn't expecting to see such great results from a domestic appliance! The amount of dirt removed is incredible. I don't allow outdoor shoes in carpeted areas so the dirt was in existence prior to professional clean. Very impressive! Another five-star reviewer wrote: "Outstanding bit of kit. I had my carpet cleaned professionally, they screwed up, came back to try and fix the problem, they couldn't fix it so I bought this. And wow. "Incredible bit of kit, it's transformed the carpet, lifting out dirt the professional grade vacuum couldn't get out. Incredible. I'm looking at other Shark products to replace our existing ones now, new vacuum cleaner, new hairdryer, new fans. This has completely outperformed our Vax in every way, don't look anywhere else!" However, they did say that the Shark was "pretty heavy", noting that as one of it's downsides. And a three-star reviewer agreed, saying: "I found it powerful but too bulky and heavy." They added: "Also, I accidentally went over the wire and the machine basically munched off the rubber coating and exposed the bare wires. I know technically my clumsiness but still I wouldn't expect the rubber to break so easily." But someone else was left stunned at just how much muck the Shark lifted from their floors. They said: "I recently used the Shark CarpetXpert Deep Clean Carpet Cleaner with Built-In StainStriker Spot Cleaner, and it has truly transformed the way I clean my carpets.
