Every weekend, adventurers like you head out into the wild with their off-road vehicles and rooftop tents, embarking on multi-day trips far from the reach of civilization. These adventures require reliable power to keep your essential devices—such as fridges, lights, water pumps, phones, laptops, and other USB-powered equipment—running smoothly.

However, installing traditional solar panels on the roof is often impractical, as most off-road vehicles come with roof racks or tents. You need a solution that’s permanently mounted, doesn’t take up valuable cargo space, and is ready to use without any setup at each campsite. Portable solar panels are inconvenient—they consume precious storage space and require time-consuming installation and teardown. This adds unnecessary hassle to your adventure, taking away from the freedom and spontaneity you crave.

Modern vehicles are engineered to save fuel, not protect your battery. To meet government fuel efficiency standards, most cars manufactured after 2012 only charge your battery minimally. The alternator shuts off while driving and only recharges the battery when its voltage drops below 12.2V. This means your battery is running at just 60% capacity or less, leading to premature wear.

To perform reliably in all weather conditions, a car battery needs a minimum of 12.7V. But with these systems, your battery is often left undercharged, which means:

• A battery that dies faster.
• Unexpected breakdowns and being stranded.
• Spending $300–$400 on a new battery every 2–3 years.

This isn’t just inconvenient—it’s costly.

As a leader in solar solutions, Lensun is the pioneer in designing and manufacturing hood-mounted solar panels, setting the standard for overlanding, camping, and off-grid adventures. Our panels provide a steady power source for 12V accessories like fridges, lighting, phones, and more, without needing to run the engine. 

Mounted directly on your vehicle’s hood, it eliminates the need for roof racks or extra hardware, offering a simple, plug-and-play installation. Unlike portable solar panels, there’s no need to set up or stow it, saving valuable cargo space. Perfect for overlanders and campers, Lensun Hood Solar Panel ensures you’ll never worry about a dead battery while off the grid. It comes complete with everything you need—solar panel, controller, and vehicle-specific decal—saving you time and hassle. Lensun offers custom panels for vehicles like Toyota, Jeep, Ford, Mercedes-Benz, Land Rover, Volkswagen, Ram, Ineos Grenadier, and more.

1.Seamless Integration

Lensun Hood Solar Panel is custom-engineered to fit directly onto your vehicle’s hood, blending seamlessly with its design. No roof racks or bulky external panels are needed — just a clean, integrated look that maintains your vehicle’s original aesthetics and reduces added weight.

2. Reliable Power Generation, Anytime

When exposed to sunlight, the panel delivers consistent solar energy to help maintain your vehicle battery charge. This supports essential 12V devices like fridges, lights, GPS units, and phones — reducing reliance on your main battery.

3. Prolongs Battery Life

By maintaining a consistent charge, the solar panel helps prevent deep discharge cycles that can shorten your battery’s lifespan — especially valuable for vehicles that are used infrequently or stored for long periods.

4. Emergency Jump-Start Capability

In ideal conditions, the solar panel can generate enough power in about 30 minutes of direct sunlight to provide a jump-start for a fully discharged battery — no jumper cables or external power needed.

5. Low Glare

The panel’s light-absorbing surface reduces glare from the hood during bright daylight, improving driving comfort.

6. Plug-and-Play MPPT Controller (Optional)

The optional MPPT solar charge controller comes pre-wired with built-in protection against reverse polarity, overcharging, short-circuit, and reverse current. It’s plug-and-play ready, making installation fast and hassle-free.

7. Custom Fit for Your Vehicle

Available in custom-fit designs for Toyota, Jeep, Ford, Land Rover, Mercedes-Benz, and more. Each panel is precisely cut to match your vehicle’s hood shape and size, ensuring perfect fit and optimal performance.

8. Durable & Weatherproof

Built with high-quality, weather-resistant materials, Lensun Hood Solar Panel is designed to endure harsh outdoor conditions such as high heat, heavy rain, dust, and snow.

1. Solar Cell: Grade A PERC Monocrystalline solar cells with much higher efficiency and more durability than other mono solar cells.

2. Premium ETFE Film: This film features superior light transmittance and weatherproof performance, and is heat, corrosion, and UV resistant.

3. Durability: Cutting-edge tech and robust materials ensure resilience against light snow, gravel, and mud, perfect for off-road use.

4. Ultrathin & Lightweight: At only 3mm / 0.12 inches thick, it is lightweight (60% less than conventional solar panels).
