THORNTON, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Ascent Solar Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:ASTI), a developer of flexible thin-film solar modules, announced today that it has partnered with GlobalWatt, Inc., a specialty solar applications company, to develop a new line of adaptable, retractable solar modules to quickly add an extra source of power to existing solar applications.
“The integration of Ascent’s high power density, low specific weight modules into GlobalWatt’s portable portfolio will enable an immediate increase in available deployable power generation without an increase in system weight. The flexibility and durability of Ascent CIGS modules are the perfect solution for lightweight, storable, portable power systems.”
“We initially plan to integrate Ascent’s cutting edge technology to our next generation of mobile solar generators and then introduce it across the board. We believe that quick, expandable power using Ascent’s CIGS modules will be synergistic to current crystalline technology as it can be a `stow and go' type power source,” said Dave Slivinski, VP of sales and marketing at GlobalWatt.
Robert Meck, VP of Product Application Development at Ascent Solar Technologies, Inc., stated: “The integration of Ascent’s high power density, low specific weight modules into GlobalWatt’s portable portfolio will enable an immediate increase in available deployable power generation without an increase in system weight.
