I tried a solar-powered AirTag alternative that lasts 2 years - and looks like my Apple Watch
↗
The Ugreen Finder Pro is a solar-powered Bluetooth tracker exclusive to Apple's Find My network that uses a small solar panel to extend its battery life to two years.
This is the first solar-powered tracker to reach the market, pointing to a practical path for reducing battery maintenance in small IoT devices. The trade-offs, single-sided solar, adhesive mount, Apple-only ecosystem, show where power harvesting still hits physical and platform limits.

The Ugreen Finder Pro is the only solar-powered Bluetooth tracker currently available, according to the reviewer's search.
Bluetooth range is 85-100 feet outdoors and 50 feet indoors, slightly below the AirTag's 100-130 feet outdoors and 50-65 feet indoors.
The device is IP68-rated but has mechanical compromises: the holder needs adhesive, the spring clip should be replaced with a split ring, and the solar panel sits on only one side.
