Product history March 2008 we demonstrated the initial operational capabilities of our first production line by starting production trials as an end-to-end integration process.
The initial operating capacity production test resulted in an average efficiency of 9 for thin film devices.
Overall integration module efficiency for small areas of 5% and more. 0%.
During the 2008 period, the optimization test resulted in the efficiency of the film device of 9. 5% to 11.
5% range in 7 and corresponding module efficiency. 0% to 9. 0% range.
The test module is 30 centimeters long and 15 centimeters wide.
In the first quarter of 2009, we started limited production of a single integrated flexible CIGS module on the initial production line.
At that time, our main business model was based on the mass production of solar modules of different lengths, sizes and configurations.
We provide sample modules for potential customers and development partners across industries to explore integrating our products into new applications.
In July 2009, we received independent verification from the United States. S.
National Renewable Energy Laboratory of the Ministry of Energy (“NREL”)
Our module measured 10.
Conversion efficiency 4%.
The module tested in NREL is about 15 centimeters wide and about 30 centimeters long.
In October 2009, NREL further validated the achievements of our 14-year manufacturing milestone.
The battery efficiency is 0% and the peak efficiency is 11.
CIGS module 4%
Later, in December 2010, we achieved 12.
The module efficiency of the same shape is 1%.
In October 2010, we completed the internal qualification test for successfully passing the 1,000 strict standard flexible packaging solution (1,000)
Hot and humid test time (
Relative humidity 85%, temperature 85 °c)
Guidelines developed by the International Electrical Commission (“IEC”)

The light module of the substrate material is half the thickness of our standard module.
We continue to design and manufacture photovoltaic integrated consumer electronics and Portable Power Applications for commercial and military users.
Thanks to the overall integration of our technology adoption for high durability, the ability to customize modules into different shapes, and the industry-leading lightweight and flexibility our modules offer, we believe there are many potential applications for our products.
Commercial and manufacturing strategy we manufacture our products by pasting thin CIGS layers onto flexible plastic substrates using large format, rollersto-
The rolling process allows us to manufacture our flexible PV modules in integrated sequential operations.
We use proprietary holistic integration technology, which enables us to form a complete PV module with few or even no expensive back-end components connected between units.
Traditional PV manufacturers assemble photovoltaic modules by welding separate photovoltaic cells together.
This manufacturing step usually increases the manufacturing cost and sometimes is not conducive to the overall yield and reliability of the finished product.
By using our proprietary integrated technology as a whole to reduce or eliminate this additional step, we believe we can achieve cost savings in photovoltaic modules and improve their reliability.
We have installed all the tools needed to meet the short term production requirements at the Thornton plant in Colorado.
In 2012, we further revised our strategy to focus on the application of emerging markets and high-tech technologies
Focus on the special photovoltaic market, including off-grid, aerospace, military and defense, and consumer-oriented products.
We plan to continue to develop our current PV technology to improve module efficiency, improve manufacturing tools and process capabilities, and reduce manufacturing costs.
We also plan to continue to use the R & D contract to fund part of this development.
3 CIGS content advantage table on flexible plastic sub-layer thin film photovoltaic solution varies depending on the type of semiconductor material selected to be used as a sunlight absorption layer, and also on the substrate type attached to the sunlight absorption layer.
As far as we know, we believe we are the only company in the world focused on producing photovoltaic modules on a commercial scale using CIGS on a flexible plastic substrate with overall integration.
We use CIGS as a semiconductor material because at the laboratory level, it has a higher efficiency in demonstrating battery conversion than amorphous silicon (“a-Si”)
And cadmium chloride“CdTe”).
We also believe that CIGS and-
Including: CIGS and-Si:Although a-
Like CIGS, Si can be deposited on flexible substrates, and its conversion efficiency is usually much lower than that of CIGS, which is significantly lower when exposed to UV light, including natural sunlight.
To mitigate this degradation,-
Si solar cells need to implement measures to increase the cost and complexity of the manufacturing process.
CIGS and CDP: Although the cd-crystalline module has achieved conversion efficiency that is usually comparable to that of CIGS in production, we believe that the cd-crystalline has never been successfully applied on a commercial scale to a flexible substrate.
We believe that the use of cdcd on rigid, transparent substrates such as glass makes it unsuitable for many applications.
We also believe that CIGS can achieve higher conversion efficiency than CD in production.
Our choice of substrate material makes us further differentiate from other thin film photovoltaic manufacturers.
We believe that the use of flexible, lightweight, insulated substrates that are easier to install provides an obvious advantage for our target market, especially where rigid substrates are not suitable.
We also believe that our use of flexible plastic substrates provides us with a significant cost advantage as it enables us to use holistic integration technology on larger components, we believe that the manufacturer metal substrates using flexible substrates.
Therefore, we are able to significantly reduce the number of parts, thus reducing the need for expensive back-end assembly of inter-unit connections.
As far as we know, as the only company focused on the commercial production of photovoltaic modules using CIGS on flexible plastic substrates with overall integration, we believe we have the opportunity to solve the problems of consumer electronics, defense, aerospace, transportation, off-grid, portable power and other weights
Sensitive market with high quality, value-added product application of transformation.
It is these same unique features and our overall manufacturing process that enable us to produce consumer goods that make our consumer goods very strong, lightweight and flexible.
We believe that we have many competitive advantages that make us more competitive than our competitors.
We are a pioneer in CIGS technology, with proprietary, flexible, lightweight, and efficient photovoltaic film products that enable us to penetrate into a wide range of high value-added markets such as consumer goods, power Grid, portable power, transportation, defense, aviation and other markets.
By applying CIGS to flexible plastic substrates, we have developed an efficient, lightweight and flexible PV module;

Weight ratio of-
Commercial solar energy of scale.
Electronic components such as electronic packaging, housing and accessories, as well as national defense portable power systems, integrated transportation applications and space and near
Space solar application solutions are an important high-end market for the company.
Compared to our film competitors, we believe that our advantages in film CIGS plastic technology provide us with superior products in these strategic segments.
We have the ability to manufacture photovoltaic modules for different markets and custom applications without changing the production process.
We are able to produce photovoltaic modules at the same time in custom shapes and sizes or multiple shapes and sizes without interrupting the production process, this gives us the flexibility to address target markets and product applications, allowing us to respond quickly to changing market environments.
Many of our competitors are limited by technology and/or manufacturing processes and only have limited product opportunities.

Our big format volumeto-
The roll manufacturing process allows continuous production of the integration.
In addition, our proprietary monolithic integration technology allows us to create interconnect using laser patterned, thus creating photovoltaic modules while creating photovoltaic cells.
In doing so, we are able to reduce or eliminate the entire back-end processing steps, saving time and labor and manufacturing costs relative to our competitors.
The 4 ContentsOur lightweight, powerful, and durable solar panels offer a performance advantage over our competitors.
The weight and shape of the product are important for consumer applications, and we are able to integrate our PV modules into portable packages and chassis, provides a lightweight and durable solution for all the portable electronics of the customer.
Our proven R & D capabilities enable us to continue to develop the next generation of PV modules and technologies.
Our ability to produce CIGS-based PV modules on flexible plastic substrates is the result of collaborative R & D efforts that began more than 20 years ago.
We continue to work on research and development and strive to improve the efficiency of our current PV modules, as well as on next-generation technologies and other applications.
Our manufacturing process can be divided into two different functions;
Front-end module manufacturing process and back-end packaging process.
We are able to produce finished unpackaged CIGS material volumes for shipment to customers worldwide for packaging and integration into a wide range of products, which enhances our cooperation with international and domestic partners
Marketing and Marketing Strategy 2012, we shift our strategic focus from large utility projects and roof applications to consumer goods and high
The value of the professional solar market.
This new strategy allows us to take full advantage of the unique advantages of our technology, including flexibility, durability, and the appeal of weight and area performance.
In addition, it enables us to offer unique, differentiated solutions in large markets with less competition and more attractive prices.
In the second half of 2012, we launched the EnerPlex series for personal power supplies, portable solar solutions and accessories.
This is a major paradigm shift for us, allowing us to move into the realm of providing complete consumer product solutions, rather than commercial solar modules in a strict sense.
We will also continue to focus on special solar applications that can make the most of the unique performance of our award-winning CIGS technology.
Includes aerospace, defense, emergency management and consumer/OEM applications.
On February 2017, Ascent announced the suspension of our EnerPlex consumer business, the sale of the EnerPlex brand and associated intellectual property and trademarks to our battery product suppliers, in order to better allocate resources, and continue to focus on its core strength in the field of high-tech
