There are many misconceptions and nuances related to thin film #solarpower. Ascent and Quantum Research Group developed this overview for those interested in the technology and its many applications: ✅ How do thin-film solar panels work? ✅ What is space-based solar power? ✅ What are the advantages of thin-film solar in space? ✅ What are thin-film solar panels made of? ✅ How is thin-film PV used in agricultural settings? 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eAYtJn4s #solarenergy

Earlier this year Ascent and Momentus announced a partnership to bring leading edge, low-cost solar arrays to market: https://lnkd.in/ePGfPmgS 🤝 For a visual of Momentus Deploying Payloads from the Vigoride-6 Mission Launched Aboard SpaceX Transporter-7 (in July 2023, prior to the announced Ascent partnership), watch this video: https://lnkd.in/exXRYeAF 🎥

More solar in space innovation, as a public-private partnership led by Japanese space agency JAXA: Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency is rumored to be setting up satellite transmitters by 2025 🛰 The concept has several advantages over terrestrial solar power setups, notably being able to harvest #solarenergy for much longer, unhindered by the Sun’s typical cycle ☀ Via The Independent https://lnkd.in/erDFxGRJ #spacetech #solarpower

Ascent CEO Paul Warley recently joined Martyn Lucas for a live interview on his show to discuss Ascent's technology, customers / partnerships and the market opportunity for #thinfilm solar in #space, #agrivoltaics and other high growth industries. 📽 https://lnkd.in/gvCArRZB

“Space-based solar power offers a resolution to the output variance of terrestrial renewable electricity sources, and thus concerns about meeting baseload power thresholds,” writes Juniper Research analyst Alex Webb. “By harvesting solar energy in space, space-based solar energy systems can operate at baseload 24 hours a day, 365 days a year; guaranteeing demand for electricity is met, whilst meeting net-zero targets.” Via Electronics Weekly: 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eS34UbvB

Thin film solar has been making prominent headlines again recently (and this week with Swift Solar's announcement). With that in mind, here are some end of week reading on thin film solar's application in space, agrivoltaics and more: 🛰 Ascent CEO Paul Warley spoke with AZoCleantech - The Online Clean Technology Community earlier this year about thin film solar in #space: https://lnkd.in/eH2eegq2 🌽 Warley also authored this piece for Solar Power World earlier this year about thin film and #agrivoltaics: https://lnkd.in/eevcgCHN 📈 Tina Casey covered thin film and its broad market potential for TriplePundit: https://lnkd.in/eRfhEE7T #solarenergy #solarpower
