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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Future of Vehicle Charging is Here!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill Engine Heat Affect the VSS System?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\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. Our system will work with AGM, Lead-Acid and Gel Cell Type Batteries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csmall\u003e*we do not recommend the use of Optima Batteries with the VSS system.\u003c\/small\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCan it be removed?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e95W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum Power Voltage (Vmp)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e22.4V\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOpen Circuit Voltage (Voc)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e26.4V\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum Power Current (Imp)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4.24A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShort Circuit Current (Isc)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4.66A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Vehicle Solar Solutions","offers":[{"title":"Three Panel Kit","offer_id":53158415073600,"sku":"VS-95FX2-HGx3","price":1200.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0263\/1814\/3585\/files\/1-1_d96da0fa-b34b-4876-896a-46bf68ce8b4b.png?v=1789462284","url":"https:\/\/tjmnorthernbeaches.com.au\/products\/vss-semi-flexible-solar-panel-toyota-tundra-bakflip-mx4-hard-folding-tonneau-cover-3x-350mm-x-1500mm-285-watt","provider":"TJM Northern Beaches","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
