Ascent Solar Technologies Provides Corporate Update Detailing Customer Pipeline and Revenue Potential

THORNTON, Colo., March 08, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ascent Solar Technologies, (Nasdaq: ASTI) (“Ascent'' or the “Company”), the leading U.S. innovator in the design and manufacture of featherweight, flexible, and durable CIGS thin-film photovoltaic (PV) solutions, today published a corporate update detailing its customer and revenue potential, as well as its strategy to meet growth opportunities in its two primary customer verticals of aerospace and agrivoltatics. The published report can be found here.

The report outlines revenue projects for the remainder of 2024, including $1 million to $1.2 million in Q2; $3 million to $5 million in Q3; and $5 million to $7 million in Q4, totaling $9 million to $13.2 million for the entire year. Further, the Company anticipates 2025 revenue reaching $50 million to $80 million. These figures are estimated based on current customer discussions and testing coupled with a rapidly growing market opportunity in aerospace and photovoltaics, and does not reflect revenue under contract.

The report also outlines the competitive advantages possessed by Ascent, outlines the Company’s robust patent portfolio, and details its customer-acquisition strategies within its respective market focuses of aerospace and agrivoltaics it is already commercially active in. This report follows Ascent’s February 2024 announcement about its solar module products being selected to fly on NASA’s upcoming Lightweight Integrated Solar Array and AnTenna (LISA-T) mission, scheduled for launch this summer.

“Ascent is proud of the technological and commercial progress achieved in less than a year following our corporate restructuring, which is best reflected in our confidence in issuing this report,” said Paul Warley, CEO of Ascent Solar Technologies. “We are laser-focused on improving efficiency and reducing costs while engaging some of the most prominent companies that represent our ideal customer base. We look forward to continuing to benefit from the support of our leadership, advisory board, and shareholder base.”
