2025 Solar options

[berg86]

Sorry if this has been up before, I've been trying to search for info why and if the solar option for the new models was removed?

I am waiting for a quote on a potential trade in for a 2025 4motion which does not have solar.
But, do they still have the cable routing as the earlier models seemed to have to make it easier to retro-fit?

The dealer was not sure why the panel options was removed and I can't find any info about this?
Looking at the website and configuring a new car I cannot find any solar options anywhere.

And yes, eventually I will go for Lithium option (or Ecoflow most likely) for my current or potential next one.

Cheers.

Grok AI suggests the loom is no longer there although it seems to have determined that from chatter on the various forums rather than from VW documentation, so I wouldn't 100% rely on that. It does go on to suggest VW may be bringing a solar solution later this year (not that there is much year left). Only way to tell for sure is to see if you can get an owner of one of the facelift vans to have a peek. Easy in a 600, just pull the ceiling scrim away a bit on the front of the front skylight (its dual-loc velcro attached) and shine a torch towards the 'forehead' where the solar would be - if wiring is there its obvious as its taped to the middle of the 'forehead'.I don't know how easy it is to find it in a 680.

Brochure said solar is returning late 2025 but nothing so far.
