Ascent Solar Technologies recently announced its
CIGS flexible solar panels have been appointed one of the 50 best inventions of 2011 by Time magazine, which allows the production of energy was not possible before.
"We are honored to be recognized by Time as one of the 50 best inventions of the year," said Ron Eller, president and CEO of Ascent Solar. "Our flexible solar panels seamlessly integrate a wide range of applications in a wide range of markets. TIME recognition further confirms aspects of transformation of Ascent Technology. "
The thin-film PV modules that lightweight and flexible has won the recognition of the publication, as they are designed to integrate with any application that uses the surface to generate clean energy. Created by Ascent Solar panels are considered as "brilliant" by Time magazine.
Another effort to improve the technology of solar panels is a company in Santa Clara, California, Alta Devices, which has launched a project to discover
cheap solar energy. Today's solar energy business will continue to compete in a level of efficiency solar panel with a cheaper cost. Factor to reduce the cost of solar energy, including efforts to use alternative materials manufacture of solar cells are more widely available and inexpensive and also the level of conversion of light into energy.
