52W Hood Solar Panel for Ram Promaster (2013-2022)
Overview
The 52W Hood Solar Panel is a custom-fit hood-mounted 12V solar solution for Ram Promaster vans from 2013 to 2022. It is designed to help keep a starter battery, auxiliary battery, or compatible power station charged during daylight without taking up roof or cargo space. Unlike portable panels that need to be set up and stored, this panel mounts directly to the hood for a clean, space-saving install. The custom hood shape, plug-and-play wiring, and lightweight, flexible construction make it a practical option for overlanders, campers, and van owners who want simple charging while parked or off-grid.
This panel is shaped specifically for the Ram Promaster hood, 2013 to 2022. If you have a 2023 or newer Promaster, you need a different version. Review the variant options below to confirm whether you want the panel only, panel with vinyl decal, panel with MPPT controller, or the complete kit.
