A hood panel with a Mopar catalogue number. Not because someone wrote so in a description, but because Cascadia 4x4 solar systems sit in the Affiliated Accessories catalogue under their own numbers. Details below.
The Cascadia 4x4 VSS System™ 2.0 is a premium hood-mounted solar panel designed specifically for Jeep vehicles. It transforms unused hood space into a reliable source of solar energy, helping maintain your vehicle's battery while parked or on the trail. It is an ideal solution for overlanding, camping, and everyday driving.
The system features the innovative SolarClasp™ mounting technology, allowing the panel to be securely attached while remaining easy to remove when needed. An integrated air gap between the hood and the panel improves airflow, reducing heat buildup and helping maximize solar efficiency.

This solar panel helps maintain battery charge and provides a dependable source of renewable energy for vehicles used in off-road adventures and overland travel. When paired with a compatible MPPT charge controller, it can support 12V accessories such as portable refrigerators, power stations, lighting, and electronic devices.
Note: A compatible MPPT charge controller is required for proper operation and is sold separately.
The manufacturer lists the CHF150 panel as fitting:
If your vehicle is not on the list, get in touch — Cascadia 4x4 makes hood panels for other models as well.
There is a simple way to tell whether a hood solar panel is a serious product or a sheet from a wholesaler: check whether it has a catalogue number. Cascadia 4x4 solar systems have their own Mopar catalogue numbers, in the Affiliated Accessories category — the same catalogue you order parts for your Jeep from.
| Mopar number | Vehicle | Wattage per Mopar | Model years |
| 68678826AA | Jeep Wrangler (JL), Jeep Gladiator standard hood | 85 W | 2018–2026 |
| 68678827AA | Jeep Wrangler (JL), Jeep Gladiator Rubicon and Mojave hood | 30 W | 2018–2025 |
| 68678825AA | Jeep Wrangler (JK) standard hood | 100 W | 2008–2018 |
| 68678829AA | Ram 2500–3500 | 85 W | 2010–2025 |
The wattages above are quoted exactly as the Mopar catalogue states them. The current Cascadia datasheet for this panel may state a different figure — the technical data for this particular product is in the section below.
To be clear: this is not a part manufactured by Mopar and we do not sell it as a genuine Jeep part. It is an affiliated accessory — an independent brand whose product passed a review serious enough to earn its own number in the group catalogue. You get into a programme like that; you cannot buy your way in with advertising.
Behind the catalogue number sits the rest: monocrystalline cells from a German plant, systems assembled in Canada, a factory certified to ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001 and SA8000, panels compliant with IEC 61215 and IEC 61730, CE marking and RoHS and REACH compliance. Every model has a datasheet with full electrical and mechanical specification.
Now check the same things on a cheaper alternative. Its maker's website will usually give you no catalogue number, no factory location and not a single certificate — it will give you a list of shipping warehouses.
Warranty: 2 years on the panel with the option to extend to 5 years, 5 years on the charge controller. Claims are handled in Poland — you are not shipping a panel across an ocean.
