Hood Solar Panel Installation Experience for 2021Ram HD 3500
Much Thanks to Alexandre’s Installation Experience of His 2021 Ram HD 3500 Hood Solar Panel.
Alexandre said: “I fell in love with Lensun Solar. It’s a Chinese company and although I often hate Chinese products for their poor quality, Lensun’s panels are anything but cheap. What mainly distinguishes Lensun is their flexible, very thin black colored solar panels with an ETFE coating that improves the reception of the rays when the sun is not perfectly perpendicular to the panel. It is certainly not the only company that produces solar panels in style, but to my knowledge, it is one or if not the only one that offers the possibility of ordering them to measure.
I ordered 2 large 180W panels from LENSUN and at the same time added 2 120W flex, finally I installed this 100W panel on my RAM 3500 hood, I am very happy with these from LENSUN A total of 700W of solar panels, it greatly meets my electricity needs and facilitates my camping trips. “
