HOOD MOUNTED SOLAR - CASCADIA 4X4 VSS or LENSUN | The complete guide to Overlanding Solar

[@dickvankoughnett2331]

This was a good review . But to me you left out the most important part. We need a power output comparison . Thanks

[@outdoorsman1llc]

I intentionally didn't do this. Over 11 months I had the two panels on on two different seasons and thus whose to say the sun 'quality/strength' would be the same one season/day to the next. I think they are similar-enough in output that a direct comparison isn't necessary.

​@@outdoorsman1llcjust test them side by side before attaching them to the hood! such an obvious solution...

[@CowsGoMonkey]

@@uctynguzb The lensun had damage from shipping

I've had the lensun panel on my fj cruiser and I'm in Australia and its been on for now a period for 4.5 years and its great. No issues whatsoever. Its great. I will say I did first order the cascade panel and didn't realise it was US dollars so it worked out to be $1100 AU dollars. So I cancelled the order and got the lensun and it was $600 AU dollars.

Thanks, was SO close to buying the Lensun when I started seeing vids w/the Cascadia! Where do you buy that black 'gang' shirt with the AR silluette?

If it's tied to the cranking battery, then you can run 24/7 dash cam. This is useful for a spare vehicle that doesn't get used as often

The best double-sided tape for this application is "Eternabond" tape. Hope this helps cool truck👍👍

[@wiked1_camptruck]

Great review. Thank you! I was about to buy the Lensun. 👍

I have mine tied into the starting battery. Why? The Gladiator sits for long periods of time while I work from home or drive my other Jeep. And since most newer vehicles have parasitic draw, I will know that the battery will always be full and healthy. I do have additional panels that keep the house battery powered as well.

Appreciate the review.

Fellow Utah resident here as well, just subscribed 🤙 see ya on the trails.

[@amylynnlove]

Any issues with the paint from where the tape sits directly on the hood of the truck when removed?

[@Adventure_Rig]

Output comparison?

[@Yettee0201]

I don't think Lensun is a knock necessarily, it looks like you had their first generation/version and there were issues with delamination like you had along with fitment. The version they have now is a much better fit and better constructed panel from what you had there.

[@alexgarcia3900]

This is an extremely stupid review, if you don’t trust your car lol?? People would get this to top off their battery if they used it to run a fridge or played music on their car. You didn’t even show the wattage/charge rate and this review is pretty pointless.

wirelessly needs charged from hood
