I recently got the "Artika Solar Blaze" solar string lights from Costco, but I accidentally broke the mounting arm for the solar panel while trying to adjust it. I'm wondering if anyone has experience finding a replacement solar panel for this model. If I can't find one, do I have to just throw them away or are there alternative panels that could work?

Don’t stress too much! It’s Costco, so you'll likely get a refund for those lights. Just try taking them back. They’re pretty good about returns, even if they're out of stock right now.
If you need a replacement panel, you’ll probably want a 5 or 12v one, but I couldn't find the exact specs. Just note that if your lights have different modes, find a panel that will at least power them on at night, which should be the standard for most panels.
I had the same issue with my lights. They just didn’t work, and by the time I wanted to buy another set, they were gone for the season. You could definitely return them or try using super glue to fix the broken arm—it might just do the trick!
