Ascent Solar Technologies, Inc. announced that it has been honored with the prestigious R&D 100 Award, presented annually by R&D Magazine to recognize the 100 most technologically significant new products and processes of the year, as judged by a panel of experts.

The company’s winning entry is its unique commercially manufactured monolithically integrated CIGS lightweight and flexible thin-film modules using a plastic substrate for applications ranging from automotive, portable power and roof tops.

“Ascent Solar is the only module manufacturer to receive the accolade this year,” said Farhad Moghadam, president and CEO of Ascent Solar. “The award is shared with ITN Energy Systems, the former parent company of Ascent Solar, and the originator of this technology. With our partners, we continue to develop innovative ways to use photovoltaics on a daily basis. Our modules enable the personal portability of solar power, applications for electrification of transportation and aesthetically pleasing integration of PV into building materials. Having our product selected as one of the top 100 innovations of the year by R&D Magazine’s panel of experts is both an honor and a confirmation of our ability to develop the next generation of solar products.”
