Ascent Solar Technologies has agreed to collaborate with GlobalWatt on a joint development for the production of new adaptable and retractable solar modules. The companies hope to develop a solar module that will last longer and then be able to recharge in a shorter amount of time while delivering optimal power.
“We initially plan to integrate Ascent’s cutting edge technology to our next generation of mobile solar generators and then introduce it across the board. We believe that quick, expandable power using Ascent’s CIGS modules will be synergistic to current crystalline technology as it can be a `stow and go' type power source,” said Dave Slivinski, VP of sales and marketing at GlobalWatt.
