Xunlight XRS5-42 42W Flexible Amorphous Solar Panel 42 Watt Battery Charging
The Xunlight XRS5-42 is a 42-watt flexible amorphous silicon thin-film solar panel designed for battery charging and off-grid power applications. Unlike rigid crystalline silicon panels, amorphous thin-film panels are built on a flexible substrate, allowing them to conform to curved surfaces and handle diffuse or low-light conditions more effectively than traditional panels. These are new, unused panels sold individually and trimmed from a larger manufacturing sheet before shipping.

Applications
Amorphous silicon thin-film solar panels like the XRS5-42 are used in portable power systems, battery charging stations, marine and RV installations, and off-grid setups where flexibility and lightweight construction are important. Because amorphous silicon cells absorb a broader portion of the light spectrum than crystalline silicon, they tend to perform better in overcast or shaded conditions, making them a practical choice for applications where direct sunlight is not always available. Xunlight was a Toledo, Ohio-based manufacturer that developed flexible thin-film solar technology originally rooted in research at United Solar Ovonic, and their panels were used in both commercial and military portable power programs. This panel is well suited for integrating into flexible mounting systems, curved rooftop applications, backpacks, portable charging arrays, and similar uses where a rigid panel would not be practical.
These Xunlight XRS5-42 42W flexible amorphous solar panels are new and unused. The photos show a group of six panels still joined together in an untrimmed sheet — this is how they arrive to us from the manufacturer. Each panel is sold individually. We trim your panel from the large sheet before we ship it, so you receive a single, properly trimmed panel ready to use. Please note: no cables or connectors are included. 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.
