Ascent Solar is testing its CIGS thin-film photovoltaic technology with two customers: an ocean monitoring company testing functionality and durability in aquatic applications, and a space/defense company testing space-based power beaming receiving capabilities for power transmission between satellites.
Ascent's PV products are lightweight, flexible, bendable, perform well in low-light conditions and extreme temperatures, are durable and long-lasting, and cheaper to manufacture than existing solutions.
Ascent Solar states it can deliver solar arrays in 6-8 weeks, significantly faster than competitors who reportedly have lead times of 9-12 months.
The marine solar market is forecast to grow from $1.2 billion today to $3.5 billion by 2033, while the space industry represents a $6.8 billion opportunity by 2040.
Ascent Solar manufactures its CIGS PV products at its 5MW production facility in Thornton, Colorado.
The ocean monitoring company is testing Ascent's solar technology for autonomous underwater vehicles to enable persistent equipment operation of ocean-based monitoring technologies in aquatic terrestrial applications.
The technology's lightweight, flexible and durable design allows it to withstand the immense pressures and tempestuous conditions of space environments, making it suitable for power beaming receiving capabilities between satellites.
Growth is driven by the need for environmentally-friendly power alternatives for vessels and equipment, new regulations, countries reducing carbon footprints, and advances in solar panel efficiency.
CIGS (Copper Indium Gallium Selenide) thin-film photovoltaic technology provides the lightweight, flexible, and durable characteristics that make it suitable for withstanding extreme pressures and conditions in underwater and space environments.
