THORNTON, Colo., June 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ascent Solar Technologies (“Ascent” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: ASTI), the leading U.S. innovator in the design and manufacturing of featherweight, flexible thin-film photovoltaic (PV) solutions, announced today that it has entered into a Teaming Agreement to supply a US-based defense solutions provider with its cutting edge, thin-film solar technology solutions for upcoming orbital applications and future missions.
“Our thin-film solar technology’s ability to reliably deliver power solutions on short timelines makes Ascent the perfect choice for agreements with defense tech brands,” said Paul Warley, Chief Executive Officer of Ascent Solar Technologies. “There are a number of hurdles slowing the deployment of reliable solar solutions in space that few are equipped to face. However, Ascent’s technology differentiators - specifically our lightweight, flexible and durable design -continue to provide a market-ready solution that mitigates many space environment challenges, allowing for long-term application on a wide variety of spacecraft.”
Ascent is able to offer mission-optimized solar array solutions using its CIGS PV product line that has been developed with spaceflight heritage. These high-maturity CIGS PV products are produced domestically in the Company’s 5 MW facility in Thornton, CO, enabling array deliveries in just six-to-eight weeks.
