Ascent thin-film is the solar power solution for scenarios where traditional rigid panels won't work.

Customer showcase

Most of the world still relies on heavy and rigid silicon-based modules, encapsulated in glass with a standard 60-cell x 72-cell module design. Our flexible and lightweight thin-film solutions are built from the very beginning with the widest application of possibilities in mind.

We bring together 20+ years of R&D, 17 years of manufacturing experience, numerous awards and a comprehensive IP and patent portfolio to to cement our leadership in the photovoltaics market.

Our thin film PV panels are manufactured using cutting-edge CIGS (Copper-Indium-Gallium-Selenide) with patented monolithic integration.

Our patent-protected processes enable us to precisely apply layers of these elements on a thin (25micron) polyamide substrate to create resilient and featherweight panels that convert sunlight into electric power.
