Ascent Solar delivers test samples of thin-film PV technology

Ascent Solar (ASTI) Technologies has delivered test samples of its thin-film PV technology to an ocean monitoring technology company, a developer of autonomous underwater vehicles capable of reaching anywhere in the ocean with a high degree of speed, endurance and sensing; and a cutting-edge power lasing company focused on advancing space and defense technologies. With these test deliveries, Ascent continues to push the limits of its solar technology in extreme environments. The ocean monitoring company will test the technology’s functionality and durability in aquatic terrestrial applications, with the intent of enabling persistent equipment operation of ocean-based monitoring technologies. The space power lasering company will test the technology’s space-based power beaming receiving capabilities, as it seeks out technologies that enable the transmission of power between satellites on orbit.
