Its primary product is a flexible CIGS solar cell on a plastic substrate. == Technology == Ascent Solar's thin-film solar modules are manufactured from CIGS cells using copper indium gallium (di)selenide semiconductor (CIGS), which has shown a 19.5% NREL efficiency in real-world conditions, slightly above amorphous silicon and CdTe. What makes this proprietary technology unique, however, is its relative size, weight and flexibility: Ascent's CIGS panels currently allow for 85 watts/meter, and 48 watts/kg, thereby giving them the greatest power density and weight ratio among available flexible photovoltaic products〔http://www.ascentsolar.com/site/files/870/88179/321594/619249/July_2012_Investor_Presentation.pdf 〕 by a significant margin. This allows for the efficient use of solar power in a range of new contexts, in which size or weight restrictions have previously rendered solar power impracticable: e.g., cell phones, airplanes, unmanned vehicles, consumer electronics, railways, space programs, and off-grid applications. This developing technology was selected as one of the ''100 Most Innovative Technologies for 2010'' by R&D Magazine,〔http://www.rdmag.com/Awards/RD-100-Awards/2010/07/R-D-100-2010-Winners-Overview/〕 and as one of the ''50 Best Inventions of 2011'' by Time Magazine. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ascent Solar」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
