Ascent Solar Pushes Limits of Solar Technology in Extreme Environments with Ocean Monitoring and Space Applications

Ascent Solar Technologies has delivered test samples to two customers to push the limits of its solar technology in extreme environments. The company's technology is being tested by an ocean monitoring technology company and a defense industry customer. The tests aim to enable persistent equipment operation in ocean-based monitoring technologies and space-based power beaming receiving capabilities. Ascent's thin-film PV technology is lightweight, flexible, and durable, making it suitable for extreme environments. Its products are also cheaper to make and have faster lead times than existing solutions.
