Ascent Solar Technologies Inc., a developer of flexible thin-film photovoltaic modules, has been selected to provide building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) modules for a pilot application at Foxconn's new factory in Zhenzhou City, Henan Province, China.
Foxconn is a manufacturer of several well-known electronic devices, including the iPad, iPhone, Kindle, Playstation and Xbox.
Ascent says its modules' flexible and lightweight form factor allows the modules to be integrated seamlessly into the building structure in ways traditional glass-back photo-voltaic technology cannot.
