Xunlight XRD12-100 100W Flexible Amorphous Solar Panel 12V Off-Grid 37x70in

Xunlight XRD12-100 100W Flexible Amorphous Solar Panel 12V Off-Grid 37x70in

The Xunlight XRD12-100 is a 100-watt flexible amorphous silicon solar panel from Xunlight Corporation's XR Solar Laminate Series, manufactured in Ohio, USA between 2012 and 2015. Unlike rigid crystalline panels, it uses amorphous silicon cells bonded to a thin stainless steel substrate and encapsulated in EVA and ETFE, making it flexible, rollable, and significantly lighter than conventional glass-faced panels. It is designed for 12V off-grid battery charging applications and is not rated for grid-tie use.

Applications

Amorphous silicon thin-film solar panels like the XRD12-100 are used in off-grid battery charging systems where flexibility, low weight, or curved/irregular mounting surfaces make rigid panels impractical. Typical applications include marine and RV rooftop charging, portable field power systems, remote monitoring stations, and military or emergency power deployments where the panel needs to conform to a surface or roll up for transport. Amorphous silicon technology performs relatively well in low-light and diffuse conditions compared to monocrystalline panels, making it a practical choice for applications with inconsistent sun exposure. The XRD12-100's ETFE/EVA encapsulation with stainless steel backing was engineered for extended outdoor exposure. Xunlight Corporation produced this series in Ohio from 2012 to 2015; with the company no longer in operation, these represent remaining new old stock from that production run.
