Ascent Solar Technologies

Ascent Solar Technologies, Inc. is a publicly traded company based in Thornton, Colorado, specializing in the development and manufacture of innovative flexible thin-film photovoltaic (PV) solar panels. Utilizing proprietary CIGS technology deposited on polyimide substrates, their modules are ultra-lightweight, flexible, and resilient, offering high power-to-weight ratios unlike traditional rigid silicon panels. Their patented monolithic integration process ensures durability and performance even under challenging conditions like partial shading. These unique attributes make Ascent Solar's products ideal for demanding applications such as space missions, aerospace (drones/UAVs), agrivoltaics, industrial/commercial construction, and consumer electronics. With over two decades of R&D experience, a strong IP portfolio, and industry accolades, the company operates a research center and a 5 MW manufacturing facility in Colorado. Their business model focuses on supplying high-performance specialty PV solutions to OEMs and system integrators, rather than direct sales or turnkey project execution.
