Services
Our patented 3-step manufacturing process ensures our products meet the high standards our customers have come to expect. The process begins with the four elements of CIGS uniformly deposited onto a roll of our flexible polyimide substrate. And then a very thin transparent coating is added to complete the semiconductor.
Direct integration for increased flight time and payload operating times with minimal impact to airframe weight. Our PV can be co-cured during conventional composite fabrication processes for seamless integration with your airframe. Ascent Solar can provide engineering services and assistance for electrical interface systems and custom PV integration design.
Our unique manufacturing process allows our Extreme CIGS Technology to be incredibly lightweight and flexible, while remaining durable and powerful. Perfect for a variety of outdoor adventures like backpacking, camping, and hobbyist uses to power up anytime, anywhere. Drawing from decades of experience, we offer customized integration solutions for consumer soft goods, hard goods, and military applications.
The seamless integration of our award-winning solar technology allows for increased flight time, and its superior power-to-weight ratio keeps your vehicle light. Engineered for optimal performance in sub-zero temperatures and minimal sunlight, our ultra-lightweight and thin PV is an ideal fit for deep space exploration.

Your babbling idiot salesman almost got beat up on my drive way for being too pushy! he came with no literature, no card, just kept saying "Im going to come back tomorrow." Would not take no for an answer but luckily I had a giant pair of hedge shears to wave in his face & cursed him out. You people might want to vet your sales staff better-he totally creeped me out. Like he was casing the place to rob us or something.
