Same Problem! Gab es eine Lösung für das Problem?

To anyone that comes across this thread that is no longer receiving a solar charge, I am sorry - your watch has a hardware issue.

If resetting your watch does not fix the issue and you still cannot solar charge your watch, you must exchange your watch with your regional Outdoor Product Support.

Hi,
My Fenix 6 Solar pro started having the same issue last year during summer 2022. There were particularly consequetive sunny days after which it developed the same issue. I started noticing that it was showing tiny spikes on the graph. Perhaps 0.5mm or so. Could it have been a change to a smaller scale by the software to compensate for the intense sunlight ?

However.. A few days ago it started working as expected ! A few days ago I woke up to the watch was dead - run out of battery and after charging it again during the day it started showing the solar charge again !

Of course it could be something else. Happy it is working again :)
