Ascent Solar New FlexPower Thin Film on Plastic - buildaroo.com

Ascent Solar introduced a new flexible thin film product, called FlexPower, at this year's Solar Power International conference. FlexPower is thin film on plastic. It is a pretty innovative product with some phenomenal architecture applications in building integrated photovoltaics, in addition to applications on electrical appliances such as cell phones and laptops. Rafael, from Ascent Solar, talks to the Buildaroo News Team about this product's characteristics.

FlexPower is the only monolithic plastic CIGS on the market, and it has a 14% cell efficiency and a 10-12% efficiency at the module level. As far as cost, when you take into account the cost of BOS, balance of systems, you can see a 20 to 25% cost reduction when using FlexPower.

The biggest potential target for Ascent Solar FlexPower product is building integrated photovoltaics. Other targets include electronic integrated photovoltaic, defense industry, and transportation. Ascent Solar sells directly to OEMs and VARs, as well as to integrators. They currently have a manufacturing capacity of 4 - 5 megawatts, which is projected to increase.
