Hood Solar Panel Installation Experience for 105W Jeep Wrangler JK

Much Thanks Craig’s Installation Experience of His 105W Jeep Wrangler JK.

Why Craig Wants to Install This Customized Hood Solar Panel

Craig said: The hood panel should charge up my battery so I could actually run my accessories from it. I could run a fridge or something like that. But the cool thing is it should always keep my battery charged so if I’m sitting or just rocking out or something like that, I don’t have to worry about a dead battery. 

Craig’s Review:

"Super easy install and looks amazing on my Jeep! Installed on my 2011 Jeep Wrangler and has gotten me out of some jams for sure! So far I am loving it!"

Lensun hood solar panel is mounted to the hood/bonnet of your vehicles to charge the vehicle battery, leisure battery or power station(jackery, goal zero…etc). Keep your fridges, lighting, phones, cameras, radios, etc everything else charged. Eliminate worries about a dead battery while camping or off the grid. The panel is perfectly shaped for the hood of the vehicle and features easy plug-and-play wiring for installation.

Lensun Hood Solar Panel Benfits:

1. Keep your vehicle or auxiliary battery topped up at all times. It is ideal for overlanders and campers seeking to power devices worry-free without draining their battery.
2. Keep your power station charged. The solar panel comes with standard connectors and uses adaptors (buy separately) to charge for most of the power stations on the market.
3. Decreased hood glare. The Lensun hood solar panel features a top-tier ETFE film surface that eliminates light reflection, reducing glare while driving.
4. Protect and extend battery life. The Batteries usually hit only 60% charge with daily driving, and if parked for 2-3 weeks, starting becomes unreliable, especially in summer. Plus, they degrade within 2-3 years. The Lensun hood solar panel maintains battery charge, tackling these issues.
5. Convenience and space-saving. The hood solar panel attaches directly to the vehicle's hood; no roof rack is needed. Unlike portable solar panels that eat up cargo space with setup and storage, it's a plug-and-play system for easy installation.
6. The optional custom-fitted vinyl decal. A vinyl decal between the solar panel and hood is highly recommended, it protects the vehicle paint from damage.
7. Easy to install plug-and-play wiring. The optional Plug-and-play 10A Waterproof MPPT solar controller. It comes pre-wired with fuses, terminals, and connectors. It features advanced MPPT control with intelligent protection against risks like reverse polarity and overcharging. Compatible with Sealed, AGM, Gel, Liquid, and Lithium-ion batteries.
