Ascent Solar Technologies has received a federal Export Achievement Certificate for the international market development and sales of its flexible and lightweight CIGS thin-film modules for building materials, portable power, and defense and transportation markets.

Suresh Kumar, assistant secretary of commerce and director of the U.S. commercial service, said, “Ascent Solar Technologies is an excellent example of how innovative U.S. clean technologies are working to create a more sustainable world environment while supporting economic growth and jobs here at home. Through the National Export Initiative, President Obama is committed to expanding export opportunities, and it’s small and medium-sized businesses such as Ascent Solar that will be the backbone of this effort. I congratulate this outstanding company for doing a job that is valuable to the American economy.”
