Ascent Solar Technologies Hosts Customer and Partner Discussions During Space Symposium

THORNTON, Colo., April 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — 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 reported on its in-person tours and meetings hosted during the 40th Annual Space Symposium in Colorado Springs earlier in April 2025.

Director of Space Solutions, Julian Miller, hosted six organizations onsite at the Company’s Thornton facility, and met with several others while attending the conference. Visitors reviewed the scale of Ascent’s operations, met with its technical team to better understand its customization and features, and further discussed collaborations for future space programs with respect to both product development and direct sales. The Company is now engaging in RFP/RFQ discussions, pursuing joint manufacturing ventures, and performing feasibility testing with prospective partners and customers.

“The market feedback received at the Space Symposium speaks volumes, not just about Ascent technology, but also our manufacturing processes in the U.S. that enable our supply chain to remain strong,” said Julian Miller, Director of Space Solutions at Ascent Solar Technologies. “We will continue to engage the biggest and brightest brands in space tech and demonstrating that our product is second to none in the low earth environment.”

Ascent’s 5MW production facility currently has the capacity to ship orders in excess of 100kW this summer. Space industry discussions include the exploration of new advanced capabilities enabled by Ascent’s CIGS PV products’ combination of resiliency with mass, volume, cost and schedule efficiencies. These opportunities span across commercial, civil and defense market sectors and include emerging markets such as in-space manufacturing, distributed space power grids and Lunar surface operations, among others.

All parties interested in participating in a facility tour are encouraged to reach out via Ascent’s contact page.
