W460/W463 85W Flexible Hood Solar Panel

Add solar charging capability to your G Wagon without giving up roof space.

The Lensun 85W Flexible Solar Panel is shaped specifically to fit the hood of the Mercedes G-Class W463 and W460. Once installed, it provides a permanent source of solar power for maintaining your vehicle battery, auxiliary battery, or compatible portable power station while you're parked, camping, or traveling off-grid.

Its hood-mounted design means there's nothing to unpack, unfold, or store. The panel simply works whenever sunlight is available, helping keep batteries maintained and providing additional power for refrigerators, lighting, cameras, phones, and other equipment.

At only 3mm thick and approximately 6.6 pounds, the panel adds very little weight or bulk to the vehicle. Its flexible construction follows the contours of the hood, while the ETFE surface is designed to withstand UV exposure and demanding outdoor conditions.

Why We Like It

Always-on solar charging
The panel can help maintain your starting or auxiliary battery while the vehicle is parked, making it particularly useful for G Wagons used for overlanding, camping, or vehicles that sit for extended periods.

Charge compatible power stations
Standard solar connectors allow the panel to be used with many portable power stations when paired with the appropriate adapter.

No roof space required
Mounting the panel directly to the hood leaves your roof rack available for cargo, tents, storage cases, or whatever else you've decided absolutely needs to come with you.

Reduced hood glare
The ETFE surface has a low-reflection finish that can help reduce glare from the hood while driving.

Designed for outdoor use
The panel uses Grade A PERC monocrystalline solar cells beneath a durable ETFE surface engineered to resist heat, UV exposure, corrosion, and harsh weather.

Extremely thin and lightweight
At approximately 3mm (0.12") thick, the flexible panel weighs significantly less than a conventional rigid solar panel.

Vehicle-specific fitment
This isn't a generic rectangular panel stuck to the hood. It's shaped specifically for the W463/W460 G-Class hood for a much cleaner installation.

Optional Vinyl Protection Layer

A custom-cut vinyl decal can be installed between the solar panel and the hood. We recommend using it to provide an additional barrier between the panel and the vehicle's paint.

Optional 10A Waterproof MPPT Solar Controller

The optional 10A waterproof MPPT solar controller provides a clean, plug-and-play solution for connecting the panel to your vehicle or auxiliary battery.

The controller comes pre-wired with the necessary fuses, terminals, and connectors and includes protection against issues such as reverse polarity and overcharging. It is compatible with sealed lead-acid, AGM, gel, flooded lead-acid, and lithium-ion batteries.
