45W 12V Hood Flexible Solar Panel for Ford Transit Cargo Van (2015–Present)

Keep your battery topped up without needing to plug in. The Lensun 45W Hood Flexible Solar Panel is custom-shaped for the Ford Transit Cargo Van (2015–present) and mounts directly to the hood. It keeps your starter battery, leisure battery, or portable power station (Jackery, Goal Zero, EcoFlow, etc.) charged using clean solar energy, all while you drive or camp off-grid.

Perfect for overlanders, campers, and vanlifers who want hassle-free power without sacrificing roof space or cargo room. No roof rack or portable panel setup required—just stick, plug, and go.

Built for durability and all-season performance, this panel uses Grade A monocrystalline solar cells and a premium ETFE surface film to handle tough environments including snow, hail, dust, and road debris. An optional MPPT controller provides smart charging with Bluetooth monitoring. An optional vinyl decal adds paint protection and a clean install.
