Ascent Solar CIGS panels stand the tests of TIME
TIME magazine has honoured Ascent Solar Technologies flexible CIGS panels with one of its "50 Best Inventions of 2011" awards
Ascent's solar technology was one of six ‘green' inventions to be recognised in this year's list, featured in the November 28 TIME issue.
For the past 10 years, TIME has recognised the top 50 breakthroughs in science, technology and the arts. Previous honourees have included the iPad, Nissan Leaf, 3-D cameras, and the world's first synthetic cells.
"We are honoured to be recognised by TIME as one of this year's top 50 inventions," said Ascent Solar President and CEO, Ron Eller. "Our flexible solar panels integrate seamlessly with countless applications across a wide variety of markets. TIME's recognition further validates the transformational aspects of Ascent's technology."
TIME refers to Ascent's solar panels as "ingenious" for their ability to be directly integrated with building materials without the limitations of standard, glass solar panels.
