I Installed a Solar Panel on My Prado’s Hood (Full Install Guide)
#Lensun #ToyotaPrado #4x4Build
I’ve officially installed a Lensun Solar bonnet panel on my Toyota Prado 120 — and this might be one of the smartest upgrades I’ve done for overlanding.
In this video, I unbox the panel, install it step-by-step, and show how it connects into my dual battery and DC-DC charging system.
This 90W bonnet solar panel is designed specifically for the Prado hood, keeping my batteries charged while I drive or park — powering my fridge, lights, camera gear, and inverter without idling the engine.
For remote travel and filming, quiet and reliable power is everything.
Is a bonnet solar panel worth it?
Does it actually make enough power?
Is it better than portable panels?
Let’s find out.
Big thanks to @lensunsolar for sending this panel to me.
