Ascent Solar Technologies, Inc.

THORNTON, Colo., June 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ascent Solar Technologies (Nasdaq: ASTI) (“Ascent” or the “Company”), the leading U.S. innovator in the design and manufacture of featherweight, flexible, and durable CIGS thin-film photovoltaic (PV) solutions, announced today that the company is commencing work on a Collaborative Agreement Notice (CAN) with NASA Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) and support from NASA Glenn Research Center (GRC) to efficiently advance capabilities for receiving beamed power using CIGS PV modules.

The CAN program targets rapid iterative development to mature commercial products for enabling mission architectures to include beamed power. The public-private partnership includes Ascent contributing design and prototyping services with NASA providing technical subject matter expertise and test services through combined MSFC & GRC efforts. This 12-month technology maturation will result in commercial products being made available for distributed space power infrastructure, drastically lowering the cost, complexity and risk of NASA missions.

Launched in 2023, NASA’s Psyche Mission has demonstrated deep space laser communications across 19 million miles of space, validating the efficacy of tight-beaming technologies over vast distances. Bench-testing conducted by NASA MSFC in 2024 demonstrated receiving beamed power using Ascent’s commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) products as a preceding validation of the technology prior to the CAN award.

The CAN is evaluating the ability of Ascent’s CIGS PV modules to generate power while illuminated by energy-dense beams of light, with goals to convert more usable power from the equivalent of tens of Earth’s Sun. The ability to remotely receive 10x more power on-demand while using the same PV cells tasked with collecting sunlight can significantly reduce solar array mass and volume required to meet mission power needs. In practice, this suggests that beamed-power architectures can lead to reductions of both spacecraft mass and volume budgets. These size efficiencies will result in agency payloads proportionally increasing relative to the spacecraft as a whole, thus allowing the prioritization of more technology, science and exploration within limited mission budgets.


Planetary missions require advanced surface mobility logistics and depend on power generation subsystems that comprise a substantial proportion of the landed downmass. It is here where Ascent technology poses a potential solution for reducing spacecraft power system mass and volume needs, creating a significant impact on the overall mission.

The CAN’s goals include increasing the array power output while lengthening the operational duty cycles to verify that improvements to this emerging technology can help enable NASA to effectively and efficiently achieve the agency’s Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) missions, Artemis campaign to the Moon, and planetary science objectives. This includes enabling surviving the lunar night as well as powering remote access to areas of scientific interest such as cold traps and permanently shadowed regions on the Moon (PSRs) where water, the potential key to lunar in-situ resource utilization (ISRU), is believed to be located in high concentrations. Ultimately, this could lead to an order of magnitude reduction in the downmass required to access expensive space exploration and science mission destinations. The going rate for robotic landers on the Moon is between 6 & 7-figures per kilogram delivered to the lunar surface, equating to upwards of tens of millions of potential savings per lander mission.


“This collaboration with NASA further bolsters our longstanding belief that the unique capabilities of thin-film solar technology will play an integral role in overcoming the challenges of reliably converting solar energy and also receive beamed power in a breadth of harsh space environments,” said Paul Warley, CEO of Ascent Solar Technologies. “Through our work together, we plan to bring an even more capable product line to market that will reduce mission costs and complexities while improving PV efficiency, making our technology a crucial piece of future space missions.”


This cross-NASA-center teaming is demonstrative of rallying together with commercial partners to achieve the agency’s broader Lunar program goals. Beamed power stands to allow NASA program dollars to accomplish more at a fraction of the cost. With 55 countries having signed the Artemis Accords since 2020, the establishment of critical Lunar infrastructure with less resources required facilitates achieving more together with international partners.

Ascent Solar Technologies Receives Order for Advanced Space PV Module Design Revision

March 27 2025 - 5:15PM

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, today announced that it has received an order to revise the design of its space solar products after being evaluated by a potential customer interested in technologies capable of receiving beamed power.

Ascent’s CIGS PV products have undergone performance testing by multiple third parties evaluating technologies for receiving beamed power. An initial beamed-power optimized module was designed, prototyped, and delivered to multiple third parties for testing and evaluation in less than one month’s time.

Analysis of both the preliminary commercial off-the-shelf CIGS PV module and the beamed power optimized CIGS PV module prototype test data validated Ascent’s CIGS PV material’s superior thermal properties and demonstrated a pathway to further increase performance and power output. This design iteration was the basis of the most recent order received for the enhanced prototype after additional testing conducted this week. The Company is now fine-tuning module design modifications.

“As interest grows for power beaming and space-based solar power, our thin-film PV technology will stand out as a clear solution for that maximizing efficiency while mitigating the risks around solar solutions in space,” said Paul Warley, CEO of Ascent Solar Technologies. “As we continue to fine-tune our technology to meet each of our customers’ unique needs, we expect to experience increased demand and revenue opportunities.”

Ascent’s ability to quickly design, iterate, and refine space solar array products in its 5MW manufacturing facility in Thornton, CO demonstrates the reliable Manufactured Readiness Levels (MRLs) for current and prospective customers. The Company is differentiated from traditional space solar providers’ silicon-based PV products, as Ascent’s CIGS manufacturing process allows design features and production processes to be adjusted for each customer’s application needs. These agile and bespoke design capabilities enable the Company to provide superior products relative to other prospective solar providers, meeting the needs of global customers as the space-based solar power market expands.

[STL Stock]

That's the math AFTER a massive rs. It was never $200k pps. It was in the trips in late 2019-early 2020. Shot up to 0.09. Dropped to around 0.05-0.02 then a 1:5000 rs for uplist at $20 pps. Falling since with an rs last year some time i think.

[mdb1]

Click on the 5 year on the stock chart.
In 2022 the stock price hit around $200,000 ???? And now it is less than $2s.
That is DILUTION!

[J2003]

Big dilution machine - that’s why

[mdb1]

Is ASTI being left behind technologically? Silicon solar cell efficiency just broke 27%. and commercial solar cells have reached 26%.

[mdb1]

$3 ? Why?

[UP AND COMING]

Well, Jester88888, the stock PEGY A semi-conductor. I bought at just under two dollars, it is now eight dollars and change. And the posters there were negative as well. need I say more?

[Jester88888]

If you Negative Nellies are so sure of yourselves why don't you all short the stock, make your apparent guaranteed money and stop complaining?

[downandoutthanksd]

Naw, it'll just keep printing shares & reverse splitting like they've always done.

Green New Deal scam operates with impunity... will always troll for newbs to take their money.

[mdb1]

Ascent Solar must be bankrupt or very very close to it. SunPower has declared bankruptcy.

[mdb1]

Who is buying this stock? I don't get it.

[mdb1]

$.50 more DOWN till the $1s are hit.

[mdb1]

The $1s are coming ... the $1s are coming.

[downandoutthanksd]

There will be a new low next week and the week after that and so on and so forth.

Never ending dilution, dilution will never end.

[Monksdream]

ASTI new 52 week low

[downandoutthanksd]

As long as it's in the name of green, you can be a thief. Just look at the current gov.

[mdb1]

2 months before ASTI goes below $1 again???

[bude]

Split check your share, how many do you now have.i have 1,

[bude]
