Review of Suzuki Jimny 4th Gen(2018-present) LensunSolar 75W Car Hood Solar Panel Installation

Much Thanks Jorge’s Installation Experience About His 2021 Suzuki Jimny Hood Solar Panel.

What Jorge Said

Very impressed with the LensunSolar Panel fitted for my 2021 Suzuki Jimny.

Installation was very easy and fun to do, beginning with the vinyl decal for the hood precisely cut and then with 3M double sided tape got the Solar Panel set on top of the decal. Wiring was fast and connecting it to my Jackery power station was just so easy, generating immediate power to begin charging it.

It has been very handy for my outdoor adventures, from charging mobile phones, usb light bulbs and many other equipment. Besides all that, it looks great on my Jimny!

Your battery will charge every time your vehicle is parked in the sun, run your fridge and recharged all electronic devices and lights. Without worring about a dead battery while out exploring.

2.Keep your power station charge，the Suzuki Jimny hood solar panel come with standard solar connectors, use adaptors(buy separate) charge for most of the power station on the market, Jackery/Goalzero/Suoki/Flashfish…etc. If you are not sure which adapter to use please contact us.

3.Decreased hood glare. The surface of LensunSolar hood solar panel is a high-quality ETFE film, which will not reflect light. And because the solar panel’s light absorbing properties, the decreased glare while driving. 

4.Convenience and space saving. The Suzuki Jimny hood solar panel adheres directly to the vehicle’s hood, requiring no roof rack or mounting hardware. The complete plug-and-play system can be installed easy.  Unlike a portable solar panel, there’s no need to set it up or stow it inside of a vehicle, which can eat up precious cargo space.

5.Protect and extend battery life：As a result our batteries are only at about 60% charge at best if you drive it daily, if you park it for 2-3 weeks it won’t start in the summer. Also the battery goes bad in 2-3 years. LensunSolar hood solar panel keeps the vehicle battery charge to maintain the battery. 

6.The optional Plug-and-play 10A Waterproof MPPT solar charge controller, has been pre-wired with fuses, terminals, and connectors. The Solar charge controller is based on common negative design and advanced MPPT control algorithm, with intelligent protection against reverse polarity, overcharging, short-circuit, and reverse current.

This solar controller compatible with Various Battery options: Sealed, AGM, Gel, Liquid and Lithium-ion.

7.The optional custom-fitted vinyl decal protects the vehicle paint from damage. Highly suggests using a vinyl decal between the solar panel and hood.
