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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn order to help with the heat build-up, each VSS panel is prepped with closed cell neoprene on the back of the panel.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn order to help with the heat build-up, each VSS panel is prepped with closed cell neoprene on the back of the panel.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhy 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWill the VSS System work with my battery?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MPPT charge controller included in our complete kits are programmed to charge a wide variety of battery types.
