LensunSolar Hood Flexible Solar Panel for Ford Transit Custom
The LensunSolar 46W Hood Flexible Solar Panel is a purpose-built solar charging solution designed specifically for the Ford Transit Custom (2012–2023). This innovative panel mounts directly to the bonnet, providing a reliable and unobtrusive way to keep your vehicle and auxiliary batteries charged during off-grid adventures, daily use, or extended parking periods.
How the LensunSolar Hood Panel Works
This flexible solar panel harnesses sunlight throughout the day, delivering a steady charge to your vehicle's main or leisure battery. By maintaining battery health and powering essential devices, it helps prevent battery drain, supports off-grid living, and reduces the risk of flat batteries when stationary for long periods. The panel is shaped to fit the Transit Custom's hood, ensuring a seamless, low-profile installation that does not require roof racks or external mounting hardware.
Typical Use Cases for Ford Transit Custom Owners
Whether you are an overlander, camper, tradesperson, or expedition traveller, this LensunSolar panel offers practical benefits:
Maintains charge in starter or auxiliary batteries during extended parking or storage
Powers fridges, dash cams, lighting, and mobile devices without running the engine
Supports charging of portable power stations (with suitable adaptors, sold separately)
Reduces hood glare thanks to the ETFE film surface, improving driving comfort
Frees up roof space for other gear by mounting directly to the bonnet

Construction and Materials
The LensunSolar hood panel uses advanced PERC monocrystalline cells, delivering superior efficiency and durability compared to standard mono cells. The ETFE film surface offers excellent light transmittance and is engineered for resistance to heat, UV, corrosion, and harsh weather conditions. The panel's robust construction is designed to withstand snow, ice, mud, and debris—making it ideal for off-road and expedition use.
Installation and Compatibility Notes
This solar panel is tailored for the Ford Transit Custom (model years 2012–2023) and is shaped to fit the vehicle's hood. Installation is straightforward thanks to plug-and-play wiring. The optional 10A waterproof MPPT solar controller (sold separately or as a bundle) comes pre-wired with fuses, terminals, and connectors, supporting a wide range of battery types including Sealed, AGM, Gel, Liquid, and Lithium-ion. For added protection, a custom vinyl decal is recommended between the panel and the paintwork.
Solving Battery Drain and Power Supply Challenges
Frequent short trips, long-term parking, or running accessories can leave your Transit Custom's battery undercharged, risking flat batteries or reduced lifespan. The LensunSolar hood panel addresses this by providing a continuous, maintenance-free charge, supporting reliable starts and powering essential gear without engine idling or generator use. This is especially valuable for campers, tradespeople, and anyone relying on auxiliary power off-grid.
