The 52W Hood Solar Panel is a custom-fit hood-mounted 12V solar solution for Ram Promaster vans from 2013 to 2022. It is designed to help keep a starter battery, auxiliary battery, or compatible power station charged during daylight without taking up roof or cargo space. Unlike portable panels that need to be set up and stored, this panel mounts directly to the hood for a clean, space-saving install. The custom hood shape, plug-and-play wiring, and lightweight, flexible construction make it a practical option for overlanders, campers, and van owners who want simple charging while parked or off-grid.
This panel is shaped specifically for the Ram Promaster hood, 2013 to 2022. If you have a 2023 or newer Promaster, you need a different version. Review the variant options below to confirm whether you want the panel only, panel with vinyl decal, panel with MPPT controller, or the complete kit.

Love it! I researched a lot before deciding on Orion. I just think their design out looks all the others. This is functional, solid, and easy install. Customer service was excellent. They answered all my questions. I didn’t build my van, I bought it already done. Solar panel and all, I was able to move the solar panel to a better location using their solar panel brackets, I’ll easily add some decking following their recommendations of what decking product to use, and be able to store items I don’t want in the van. Love supporting a local Oregon business. Would recommend them to everyone. Oh and I got the rack with the lights. Totally recommend. The install was perfect and they really light up the night!
The ladder is awesome. Super solid. Customer service was also super awesome. Answered my zillion questions quickly through email. Orion products just look so sleek and … stealthy. Glad to support a local business as well. Maybe that’s why shipping was next day.
I just drove the van for the first time with the rack and 400w solar upgrade installed. At 70+ mph (eastbound) the wind noise / speech intelligibility was not degraded and may have even improved. The front fairing and its integration into the rack is a very nice design. Looks fantastic on the van. Excellent engineering! The assembly guides are well detailed and the team responds to all additional questions within 24 hours, which is outstanding support. The slightly higher premium paid for the Orion Van Gear Stealth Rack verses the completion is worth every penny. Highly recommended.
Thank you, Krysta! It’s so great to see everything come together on your van. We’re glad we could help you get the solar placement dialed in and plan for decking and extra storage. And thank you for sharing the videos showing off the rear scene lights and flush solar brackets; they’re a huge help to others planning their setups! We really appreciate your recommendation and support for a local Oregon business. Enjoy your adventures!
Hi Krysta, thank you for the video! Glad you love it! Made in Oregon!
Very nice, well built and affordable panels.
