Ascent Solar Technologies, Inc. (ASTI) Announces North American Retail Debut of EnerPlex Solar-Charging Technology for iPhone 4 & 4S

Ascent Solar Technologies announced the North American retail debut of its EnerPlex solar-assisted battery case for the iPhone 4 and 4S. Taking advantage of Ascent’s ultra-light, thin and flexible solar panels, EnerPlex cases provide iPhone 4 and 4S users with supplementary phone charging via sunlight, in addition to traditional charging methods, to extend iPhone usage time. EnerPlex cases are now available in the U.S. and all of North America through CommXPERTS, one of the company’s distributors, and can be purchased online at www.iPhoneSolarCharger.com. EnerPlex cases will also soon be available on Amazon.com.

A value-added distributor of pioneering consumer electronics products, CommXPERTS provides more than 5,000 B2B/B2C customers in Canada, Latin America, and the U.S. with distribution and customized services. These services include strategic planning and the distribution of innovative products like barcode scanners, solar chargers, WiFi, and wireless “mobile” event equipment.

Ascent’s EnerPlex case is enabled by the thin, lightweight and customizable form of the company’s CIGS solar cells, which allow solar technology to be integrated into the thinnest and lightest solar-enabled iPhone case currently available on the market. Combined with a lithium-ion battery that is ultra-thin, the EnerPlex case provides iPhone 4 and 4S users with hours of additional iPhone use.

Ascent has eagerly anticipated the debut of the EnerPlex case and the opportunity to offer, through its award-winning CIGS solar technology, a product that complements one of the most popular consumer devices ever made. The company plans to introduce a variety of other EnerPlex solutions going forward, including EnerPlex products for Apple’s iPhone 5.

Ascent Solar Technologies is a developer of cutting-edge, flexible thin-film photovoltaic modules that are capable of transforming the way solar power generation is integrated into everyday life. The company’s modules were named one of TIME Magazine’s 50 best inventions for 2011 and can be directly incorporated into standard building material, commercial transportation, automotive solutions, space applications, consumer electronics for portable power, and durable off-grid solutions.
