Ford F250 Exterior Accessories

Introducing the VSS System for the Ford Super Duty F250, F350, F450, F550 (2011 – 2016), the World’s First Vehicle Specific Bonnet-Mounted Solar Panel System. Key Features:  95W of clean solar energy to keep your battery topped up when the engine isn't running. Rugged “Marine-Grade” construction to withstand extreme environmental conditions. Perfect for overlanding, camping, and the jobsite. Keep your drinks cold and equipment charged without killing your battery. Solar Made Simple: An optional solar controller makes for everything you need for a clean and simple install. 3-year warranty. Approximate Installation Time - 1.5 Hours  Installation Difficulty - EasyBenefits– Keep your vehicles battery topped up at all times: Perfect for the overlander or camper who wants to power devices without worrying about draining their battery. Perfect on the jobsite for work lights and charging cordless tools. – Extend the life of your battery: The VSS System will give you longer overall battery life by tending it constantly during periods of sun exposure. – Emergency engine starting device: If you ever manage to completely drain your battery the VSS will start the vehicle up again in as little as 30 minutes depending on sun exposure. – Anti-glare device: Due to it’s light absorbing properties the solar panel creates a surface with very low reflectivity across the bonnet of the vehicle.DescriptionThe VSS System hard-mounts to the bonnet of your vehicle, and during daylight hours, provides a constant flow of clean solar energy to your primary or secondary vehicle batteries. This gives you the ability to run 12V accessories like fridges, phone/laptop chargers, lights, power inverters etc. without the need to start your engine and without the fear of draining your battery and leaving you stranded. The VSS system is completely plug-and-play if paired with our optional MPPT solar charge controller and can be installed in as little as 1.5 hours. We chose the most stable and durable multilayers semi-flexible solar panel construction available to ensure that these solar panels can withstand extreme environmental conditions, maintenance-free, for years. The Future of Vehicle Charging is Here!FAQsWill Engine Heat Affect the VSS System? This is the most commonly asked question about our VSS System. It is a fact that solar cells lose efficiency as they warm up, however the simple answer is NO, engine heat will not have an effect on how the VSS system operates. Why you ask? Well, the main benefit of the VSS system is that it provides power to your vehicle battery when the engine is NOT running (and therefore not not). When the engine is running (and hot) the vehicle’s alternator is doing the majority of the charging and not the solar panel. This means there is very little effect from the additional heat on the system when the system is used for its intended benefits. In order to help with the heat build-up, each VSS panel is prepped with closed cell neoprene on the back of the panel. This serves two purposes; it lifts the panel up off of the bonnet creating an air packet between the panel and the bonnet allowing for cooling, while also helping to protect the vehicle bonnet from any contact with the back of the panel. Will the VSS System work with my battery? The MPPT charge controller included in our complete kits are programmed to charge a wide variety of battery types. Our system will work with AGM, Lead-Acid and Gel Cell Type Batteries. *we do not recommend the use of Optima Batteries with the VSS system. Can it be removed? Once installed the VSS system is not designated to be removed from the vehicle. The solar panel can be removed only if absolutely necessary. i.e., the panel needs to be replaced.Features Power 95W Maximum Power Voltage (Vmp) 18.5V Open Circuit Voltage (Voc) 22V Maximum Power Current (Imp) 5.13A Short Circuit Current (Isc) 5.64A
