Breitling Wing Walkers Walking on Sunshine with New Ascent Solar Partnership

Ascent Solar Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:ASTI), a manufacturer of consumer and off-grid products integrated with flexible thin-film photovoltaic modules (CIGS), announced the company’s partnership with the Breitling Wing Walkers. In tandem with the launch of Ascent’s EnerPlex series of integrated solar products in the UK, Ascent has teamed with the Wing Walkers for their European Tour;.

EnerPlex is a new range of uniquely lightweight, durable and highly energy efficient photovoltaic charging solutions for today’s power-hungry tech users. With their busy schedule, the Breitling team will be able to make full use of the EnerPlex range to not only keep all their devices charged, but also take advantage of solar energy during their down-time.

“Often, when our aircraft are parked at airshows, finding the nearest power socket is a real challenge to say the least. This range of solar equipment really has solved this problem once and for all. Now we’re able to use and recharge our mobile devices without worrying about running out of power – essential for checking the weather or filing a flight plan” said Martyn Carrington, director of flying, BreitlingWing Walkers

“This is a fantastic opportunity for us, with Ascent’s drive for innovation finding a perfect match in the precision and demand for reliability that the Brietling Air Time team demands, it’s a perfect way for us to showcase our technology and build brand awareness as the Wing Walkers travel across Europe,” John Maslanik, Ascent’s manager of business development, said.

The EnerPlex Product line has quickly changed the paradigm of solar-integrated consumer electronics, providing consumers with lightweight, powerful and extremely durable charging solutions for all their portable electronics.

Surfr, a line of solar and battery integrated phone cases, allows users to charge their phone anywhere and in cases of emergency. Kickr, a line of portable solar chargers, provides a charging solution for most USB enabled devices enabling power to be generated almost anywhere and in nearly every situation, perfect for emergency preparedness. With the addition of the Jumpr line of portable batteries, consumers now have a complete, integrated, solar charging and storage solution for life on the go.
