Low Profile Design : At only 3mm thick, the panel sits flush on the hood, maintaining the vehicle’s iconic look and aerodynamics. Custom Fit : Specifically designed to follow the contours and edges of the Mercedes G-Wagen hood, providing a seamless, factory-like appearance. Thermal Protection : Strips of 3M neoprene foam are added underneath the panel, acting as a thermal barrier and providing an air gap for cooling. Benefits Reliable Off-Grid Power : Ideal for overlanders, campers, and jobsite workers—power fridges, chargers, and lights without worrying about draining your battery. Extended Battery Life : Continuous solar charging helps maintain battery health and extends overall battery life. Emergency Starting Power : If your battery gets completely drained, the VSS System™ can recharge it sufficiently to restart the engine in just 30 minutes (depending on sun exposure). Anti-Glare Feature : The panel’s light-absorbing properties reduce glare, resulting in a low-reflectivity finish across the hood. Detailed Specifications Power Output : 100W Voltage : Voc : 22.6V Vmp : 20V Current : Isc : 3.5A Imp : 3.25A Panel Thickness : 3mm Material : Marine-grade construction with 8 laminated layers for durability and weather resistance. Mounting System : Pre-installed with high-temperature 3M VHB tape for secure attachment to the hood. Installation Time : Approximately 1.5 hours (installation must be done in a dry environment between 18° and 35°C / 64° and 95°F). Mounting Process The VSS System™ uses high-temperature 3M VHB tape along the perimeter of each panel, ensuring a secure bond to your hood without causing any damage to the paint. To further protect the vehicle’s paint and enhance the panel’s performance, a custom-cut vinyl base sheet is also available. Installation
