Description
iLand XZS8-16 16W 12V Flexible Amorphous Solar Panel Rollable Portable Xunlight
The iLand XZS8-16 is a 16-watt, 12-volt flexible amorphous thin-film solar panel manufactured by Xunlight Corporation. Unlike rigid crystalline silicon panels, it uses amorphous silicon deposited on a flexible substrate, allowing the panel to roll up for compact storage and transport. At 15 inches wide by 37 inches long, it unrolls flat for use and coils down to approximately 8 inches in diameter — making it suited for applications where weight and packability matter. Connections are made via solder points (no pre-attached cables or connectors).

Applications
Flexible amorphous thin-film solar panels like the XZS8-16 are used in off-grid and portable power applications where a rigid panel is impractical. Common uses include charging 12V batteries in marine, RV, camping, and remote field deployments, as well as integration into custom solar charging rigs, backpacks, shelters, and vehicle surfaces where the panel needs to conform or be stowed compactly. Amorphous silicon technology performs relatively well in diffuse or low-angle light compared to monocrystalline panels, which makes it a practical choice in overcast or partially shaded conditions. Xunlight Corporation was a Toledo, Ohio-based manufacturer that developed and commercialized roll-to-roll amorphous silicon thin-film solar technology in the mid-2000s, producing flexible panels primarily for specialty and portable markets. The XZS8-16 dates from that era of early commercial thin-film solar development and represents a durable, lightweight alternative to conventional rigid panels for 12V charging applications.
This iLand XZS8-16 16W 12V flexible amorphous solar panel is new old stock from Xunlight's warehouse in the USA — unused but stored. The panel appears clean and undamaged; the orange textured backing shows no significant wear, and the amorphous cell surface looks intact. The solder-point connection pads are covered by a protective top-sheet layer near the manufacturer's logo (visible as two small yellow squares in the photos). To make your electrical connections, carefully remove the top-sheet over those two points using a small tool — the pads themselves are underneath and have not been soldered to. No cables or connectors are included. Note: the color of the solar cells and/or border edging may vary slightly from the panels shown in our photos. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions. Please note: We have multiple units in stock — yours may not be the one shown in the photos, however, it will be similar in condition and function.
