Collection: 70 Series Land Cruiser Bonnet Solar Panels

BONNET SOLAR PANELS FOR THE 70 SERIES

PUT THE BONNET TO WORK WHEN YOU ARE PARKED

The bonnet on a 70 Series is a large, flat, north-facing surface that points at the sky every time the vehicle is parked. A bonnet-mounted solar panel turns that real estate into a charging source that tops up the auxiliary battery while the vehicle sits. For touring builds that run a fridge overnight, a bonnet solar panel keeps the secondary battery fed without needing to deploy folding panels at every stop. It is the kind of upgrade that earns its place during long stays at remote campsites where alternator charging is rare and battery management is essential.

SEMI-FLEXIBLE PANELS WITH SHATTERPROOF CONSTRUCTION

Each bonnet solar panel in this collection uses semi-flexible monocrystalline cells laminated into a thin shatterproof shell that conforms to the slight curvature of the 70 Series bonnet. The thin profile keeps the panel close to the bonnet surface for minimal aerodynamic drag at highway speed. UV-resistant sealing keeps water out of the cell layer through years of rain, dust, and heat. Output ratings typically sit in the 100W to 200W range depending on the panel size and cell efficiency. Cable routing through a small grommet in the engine bay keeps the installation tidy.

SUITS VDJ AND GDJ BONNET SHAPES

Solar panel kits are sized for the specific bonnet shape they suit. The 2007 to 2023 VDJ bonnet uses one panel size and mounting clamp specification. The 2024 onwards GDJ facelift bonnet uses an updated mounting layout because the bonnet shape changed. Each listing confirms exact body style and year range before you order. Installation pairs with a solar charge controller and connection to the dual battery system. For owners running a serious touring electrical setup, a bonnet solar panel is the foundation of off-grid charging capability.
