The Cascadia 4x4 VSS System™ 2.0 is the latest iteration of the world's first vehicle specific hood solar system, and it's packed with new technology. The solar module attaches directly to the vehicle bodywork using Cascadia 4x4's SolarClasp™ Technology, enabling it to be removable, and creating an insulative air-pocket for cooling.

Cascadia 4x4's vehicle hood solar module provides high-efficiency, clean energy generation on otherwise empty space. The system is capable of powering fridges, solar generators, power stations, smartphones, emergency devices, lights, tools, and overlanding accessories without any maintenance or setup beyond initial installation. System monitoring and programming is available via the CascadiaTether™ Bluetooth app.  

Key Features:

  • Top-Grade Monocrystalline Solar Cells (~23% Efficiency)
  • Removable and Replaceable via SolarClasp™ Technology
  • Sealed Air Gap Beneath Module for Cooling
  • Bluetooth App for Monitoring and Programming
  • High Efficiency Contiguous Cell™ Technology
  • High Impact, Abrasion, and Cut-Through Resistance
  • Anti-Glare Properties from Matte ETFE Top Sheet
  • Excellent Chemical and UV Resistance
  • Extreme Temperature Operational Range
  • Flexible Construction Conforms to Vehicle Bodywork
  • Sleek OEM-Adjacent Design
  • Impact Resistant Junction Box
  • Self-Cleaning Low Friction Surface
  • 2 Year Warranty (Optional 5 Year)
  • Designed, Tested, Packaged and Supported in Canada & USA

Included: Solar module(s), SolarClasp™ installation components, instructions.

Required: Solar charge controller. The Cascadia 4x4 MPPT Bluetooth Charge Controller was designed from the ground up to work seamlessly with the VSS System™ 2.0. Learn more here.

Optional: 12V Accessory Kit. This unit plugs into the Cascadia 4x4 MPPT Bluetooth Charge controller and draws power directly from the battery being charged by solar. This is the easiest way to power fridges, solar generators, power stations, smartphones, laptops, and more. Learn more here.

Optional extension cables are available to customize the placement of the charge controller or 12V Accessory Kit.

The VSS System™ 2.0 utilizes Cascadia 4x4’s SolarClasp™ Technology to affix the solar module onto the vehicle. 3 years of R&D led to us perfecting this novel method of securely attaching solar modules.

Cascadia 4x4’s SolarClasp™ Technology employs an array of military-grade reclosable fasteners, and a closed-cell foam perimeter to create a securely attached, yet still easily removable solar module. This allows the solar module to be transferred between vehicles, or easily replaced in the case of damage orrepair. SolarClasp™ also creates a thermally-insulative air gap between the solar module and the vehicle. This limits thermal bridging and keeps the solar module cooler, extending its service life and efficiency.

Benefits Include:

  • Removable
  • Replaceable
  • Transferable
  • Air Cooling
  • Higher Efficiency
  • Longer Service Life

Cascadia 4x4's Contiguous Cell™ Technology (CCT) is used on all VSS System™ 2.0 solar modules. CCT is a new type of solar module assembly technique whereby solar cells are attached directly to each other using an electrically conductive adhesive along the entire length of the cell. This removes the weak connections that are common points of failure on traditional semi-flexible solar modules. It also allows solar cells to be placed without any space between them, reducing the unproductive surface area of the solar module.

The VSS System 2.0 is covered by the Cascadia 4x4 2 Year Limited Warranty. Components are considered to be subject to wear through normal use or are consumable subject to degradation through the course of their daily use. Cascadia 4x4 guarantees them free from manufacturing defects for 2 years.

Upgrade to a 5 Year Extended Warranty on the VSS System 2.0 at the time of purchase to add an additional 3 years of coverage. Just check the box when adding the product to your cart.
