There is this one too - bit better shaped for the bonnet. Price is ridiculous for 80w though. Land Cruiser 80 & 100 Series/Lexus LX450 & 470 VSS System™ 90 Watt Hood Solar Panel - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club]

Got mine from Lensun. 7 panel folding ETFE 100w. It's definitely waterproof and output is good but I only use to maintain the single battery system on my Colorado. Whether it still has a high performance after a year or two remains to be seen. Think it was around $250 plus extra for 3 metre extension cables.

I was looking at the folding solar blankets, a lot smaller than my hinged 100 (2x50w) panel, like the look of the 200watt solar blanket but it’s £400 is a bit steep!!

Think all the higher rated panels are expensive. It will depend on your needs. The motor being laid up during Covid prompted my purchase, additionally the cruiser is not my day to day motor. Wired the controller in situ but left enough cable on the panels to leave inside or use outside.
