I've had this kind of a failure in the past. If the super-capacitor fails it regularly drains the battery (I had to replace mine several times a year). A new motherboard fixes this. I also had replaced the solar panel, but that made no difference.
Unfortunately, ants got into the housing a few years later, and I ended up having to replace the entire unit.
