LensunSolar Flexible Hood Solar Panel (100-Watt) with MPPT Charge Controller for LX 570 (2008–2021)

The LensunSolar Hood Solar Panel for the LX 570 is a purpose-built power solution designed for off-road, overland, and extended travel. By converting sunlight into continuous battery charging capacity, it prevents dead batteries, supports accessory power needs, and reduces reliance on external charging systems. Unlike portable panels, this hood-mounted design integrates seamlessly with the vehicle, creating a maintenance-free energy source that is always active while exposed to daylight.

Built with Grade A PERC monocrystalline cells and a high-transmittance ETFE surface, the panel achieves superior energy efficiency and long-term durability. The laminate structure resists snow, ice, hail, and debris, while the ultrathin 3 mm profile minimizes added weight. Lensun’s use of advanced weatherproof materials ensures the panel remains functional in demanding outdoor conditions with little to no maintenance.

Engineered to match the hood contours of the LX 570, the panel maintains aerodynamic integrity and prevents the bulk associated with roof-mounted solar systems. The ETFE-coated surface reduces hood glare for improved driver visibility, while its low-profile construction preserves the vehicle’s factory appearance. With no need for roof racks or portable systems, the hood-mounted panel delivers convenience without sacrificing cargo or cabin space.

Rated at 100 Watts with 23.5% efficiency, the panel supports continuous charging for vehicle and auxiliary batteries. It powers essential equipment such as fridges, lighting, and electronics, while extending battery health by preventing partial charging and long idle-related degradation. The robust IP68 junction box and pre-attached 5 ft cables ensure secure, weatherproof power delivery for both on-road and off-grid conditions.

Installation is streamlined with pre-attached cabling and a plug-and-play configuration, requiring no permanent roof modifications or external mounting hardware. An optional custom-fit vinyl decal can be added to protect hood paint, while an optional waterproof MPPT charge controller provides advanced charging management for multiple battery chemistries. The result is a durable, space-saving solution that offers consistent solar charging without additional setup time.
