Question I am looking for a small *wireless* solar panel with a USB-C port (That can plug/mount directly to my home camera)

[SeriousGaming101]

This is not for computers but rather my home security camera.

My home security camera has a USB-C port in the back to charge it. (The camera's battery is 10,000+mAh)

Are there any small/thin solar panels on the market that supports USB-C and is also WIRELESS? (So I can just plug the solar panel directly to the back of the camera without the need to drill more holes on my wall and also forego the need of seeing wires/cables near my camera?)

I know there are a lot of solar panels on the market for cameras today but they are all mostly wired and requires more holes to be drilled.

If this "wireless" solarpanel you know of doesnt have a USB-C port, I can improvise and use a converter like "XXX to USB-C adapter"

Also, I prefer this solar panel's sunlight panel to be at about a 90'degree angle from it's power output port(USB-C).

What do you mean "wireless"? If it's wireless power, the only thing you can use are those induction based chargers which you can have barely any space between the receiver and the charger. They might be able to go through drywall, but you still have to find a way to mount it.

What is a wireless solar panel. Even if it existed it would be extremely inefficient to transfer power without a wire.

I am not sure the solar panels themselves would have a USB-c connectors but they might. There are all kinds of USB-c adapters that take either 12 or 24 volts in that are say used in a car. You would just hook it to the solar panel.

It is all going to depend on if your camera has enough battery to last though a couple very cloudly days in a row when it might not get a full charge.

When I say wireless, I mean something that just plugs-in directly to the USB-C port without having a 5-foot cable.

So your problem is the length of the charging cable ?

A quick search on amazon and you get many device you would just have to search for one that has a cable you like.

This is what I use. 3 years in and still keeps my camera at 100%

Edit: Reread and I am a moron.

I somehow missed the USB-C would be like a dongle, I guess. Yeah, somehow the power must be conveyed to the camera.

So what holds the panel in place? Just the USB port?
Hello, wind....

My panel is screwed into the facade around my porch.

Yes

I think this is going to be one of those things that you're not going to find. And even if you can find something that somehow plugs directly into the solar panel without a cable or with a really short cable, you're going to run into issues with placement.

Yes

THats not going to work.
