Hood Solar Panels — Solution

The Master 12V Hood Solar Solution Wiring Diagram

Every aftermarket accessory you add to your rig—dashcams, comms setups, 12V refrigerators, and winch controllers—creates a silent, residual drain on your battery infrastructure the exact millisecond your engine shuts off.

Your vehicle's factory alternator can only charge your battery network when your wheels are actively moving down the highway. When you are parked at camp or sitting at an off-grid trailhead for days at a time, your electrical ecosystem is entirely on its own.

A vehicle-specific, hood-mounted solar panel acts as an automatic, always-on battery tender. It utilizes the massive, unused surface area of your rig's hood to capture quiet sun hours all day long, delivering a continuous stream of clean 12V power straight back into your battery through an entirely non-destructive, plug-and-play layout.

Our premium configurations feature a ruggedized film surface that absorbs light rather than reflecting it—completely eliminating dangerous hood glare while driving—and mount flush around your factory windshield washer nozzles with no drilling required.
