hin-film photovoltaic (PV) module developer Ascent Solar Technologies has signed a distribution agreement with industrial signage company Megamark/ DisaTech Group subsidiary DisaSolar to distribute its modules for off-grid applications.

The agreement will see DisaSolar distribute Ascent Solar’s high-power thin-film copper indium gallium (di)selenide (CIGS) modules for off-grid applications integrating flexible solar panels into passenger train roofs and commercial signage structures.
Recently, the two companies integrated solar PV modules into train rooftops in partnership with French regional rail company SNCF.
DisaSolar president Stephane Poughon said, ‘Leveraging the expertise of Megamark/DisaTech Group combined with the quality and performance of Ascent Solar products, DisaSolar aims to quickly become a leading French provider of innovative integrated solar products.’
This latest agreement will give Ascent Solar access to additional emerging market segments in Europe.
Ascent Solar CEO Farhad Moghadam added, ‘This relationship will give us access to new and emerging market opportunities in transportation that could provide significant growth over the coming years in France as well as other countries across the globe. We also expect that other products in our lineup of flexible, lightweight CIGS modules will be marketed through this relationship.’
