80W solar panel for VW T5/T6 hood

Flexible solar panel from Lensun Solar for the hoods of VW T5 and T6 vans.

The module is mounted directly onto the hood and can thus be easily added to panels already installed on the roof. It can charge the vehicle battery, the auxiliary battery, or a power station in daylight.

This keeps your refrigerator, dashcam, lighting, smartphones, etc., powered without having to start the engine. No more worrying about a dead battery while camping or off-grid.

The solar panel is perfectly adapted to the shape of the vehicle's hood. Installation is simple via plug-and-play wiring.

The advanced technology uses special materials that protect the solar cells from extreme weather conditions such as strong winds, heavy snowfall, and hail. This ensures a long service life and years of maintenance-free operation for the flexible hood solar panel.

Benefits of the flexible Lensun Solar hood panel

1. Keep the vehicle or auxiliary battery charged at all times
Keep your starter or auxiliary battery at a high state of charge at all times. Ideal for overlanders and campers who want to reliably power their devices without discharging the battery.

2. Keep your power station charged
The solar panel features standard connectors and can charge most commercially available power stations using separately sold adapters.

3. Reduced glare from the hood
The flexible Lensun solar hood panel features a high-quality ETFE film surface that reduces light reflections, thereby decreasing glare while driving.

4. Protect and extend battery life
With daily driving, batteries often only reach about 60% charge. If the vehicle is then left parked for 2–3 weeks, starting can become unreliable, especially in summer. Additionally, batteries can lose performance within 2–3 years. The flexible Lensun Solar panel keeps the battery charged and counters these issues.

5. Convenient and space-saving
The flexible solar panel is attached directly to the vehicle's hood – a roof rack is not required. Unlike portable solar panels, which require valuable storage space for setup and stowing, this is a simple plug-and-play system that is always ready for use.

6. Optionally available custom vinyl wrap
A vinyl wrap between the solar panel and the hood is highly recommended. It protects the vehicle paint from damage, as the panel is not glued to the vehicle paint itself, but to the removable vinyl wrap.

7. Simple plug-and-play wiring
An optional waterproof 10A MPPT solar charge controller is available. It comes pre-wired with fuses, terminals, and connectors.

The solar charge controller features advanced MPPT control as well as intelligent protection functions against risks such as reverse polarity and overcharging, and is compatible with AGM, gel, flooded, and lithium-ion batteries.

Features of the flexible Lensun Solar hood panel

1. Solar cells
High-quality Grade A monocrystalline PERC solar cells with significantly higher efficiency and better durability than other monocrystalline solar cells.

2. High-quality ETFE film
The ETFE film offers excellent light transmission and high weather resistance. It is heat, corrosion, and UV resistant.

3. High durability
State-of-the-art technology and robust materials ensure high resistance to snow, ice, mud, stones, and other external influences. Due to their high load-bearing capacity, the panels are particularly well-suited for off-road vehicles.

4. Extremely thin and lightweight
With a thickness of only 3 mm, the panel is particularly thin and lightweight. It weighs about 60% less than conventional solar panels.
