Xunlight XNS10-55 Flexible Amorphous Solar Panel 55W 15V Battery Charging

Xunlight XNS10-55 Flexible Amorphous Solar Panel 55W 15V Battery Charging

The Xunlight XNS10-55 is a flexible, rollable thin-film amorphous silicon solar panel rated at 55 watts and 15 volts DC. Unlike rigid crystalline panels, it uses a lightweight, bendable substrate that rolls up to a 12-inch diameter for compact storage and transport. Designed for battery charging applications, it is well suited for off-grid, marine, RV, and portable power setups where a rigid panel is impractical. Electrical values listed below are approximate ratings derived from in-house testing at our facility.

Applications

Flexible amorphous silicon solar panels like the XNS10-55 are used in off-grid battery charging systems where rigid panels aren't practical. Common applications include marine and boat installations, RV and camper rooftops, portable field power, and curved or irregular mounting surfaces. Amorphous silicon technology performs better than crystalline panels under low-light and diffuse-light conditions, making it a practical choice for overcast climates or partially shaded environments. Xunlight Corporation was a Toledo, Ohio-based thin-film solar manufacturer known for producing lightweight, rollable panels primarily for defense, portable power, and specialty off-grid markets during the 2000s and early 2010s. The XNS series panels were notable for their rollable form factor and durability in field applications. At 15V nominal output, this panel is compatible with standard 12V battery charging systems when used with an appropriate charge controller.
