    Well good luck with your kick off sale. The hood mount is a neat way to add a panel for sure.

    This definitely looks like a great product. Maybe adding some 3m strips in addition to the outside would be a good idea. We use something similar on sailboats and they work really well for power.

    Is there any available information about the charge controller?

    Exactly! We adapted this tech from the marine industry where they use it as decking on some sail boats. Additional 3M on the inside isn't necessary based on our testing....and makes the panels almost impossible to remove. :rofl:

    What would you like to know? The controller is a "smart" programmable controller with low/high voltage cutoff's to protect the vehicle battery. It is rated for 130 watts and 45V inputs. :thumbsup:

    And its a spot that it out of the way for the most part. And can be moved up to catch the sun by opening the hood.

    Thanks for all the orders! The first run of pre-order's sold out and are being shipped now :thumbsup: The first lucky customers will be receiving them in the next couple weeks.

    We have decided to extend the pre-order pricing for our next run which will be shipping in April. Get your orders in now before the next run sells out! :cheers:

    This is a pretty great comprehensive review on our 85 watt system https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRv3dx8kDBQ

    If you would like more info on the installation I can email you the install guide! Just shoot me a PM with your email address. Let me know if you have any questions!

    Would the controller be able to reach a 2nd battery mounted in the bed or rear of the cab? Trying to assess all of the available options here given the price point.

    If you need some add some extra length to the system you could pick up some additional wiring with MC4 connecters such as this:
    $14 BEAYFILY 10AWG Solar Extension Cable Wire,Solar Panel Adaptor Cable with Male and Female Weatherproof Connector (5 Ft)

    Do these require any switches or relays? How well does it play with a IBS dual battery setup? Thx
