Ascent Solar Technologies Inc (ASTI)

Not new.
In December of 2015, we heard big news out of Ascent Solar. The company announced that it had been granted the GSA Schedule 56 contract. This is a huge piece of news. That's because ASTI products have quite a few applications that would be useful in a government setting. However, before the contract was granted, it was relatively difficult for governmental bodies to order the company's products. Under the GSA Schedule 56 contract, all government agencies including the US Armed Services, US Forest Services, and several other agencies now have the ability to easily purchase products from ASTI. The lightweight solar technology is perfect for several agencies and will likely see large sales volume from the contract.
