Ascent Solar Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:ASTI),
a developer and manufacturer of state-of-the-art, flexible thin-film
photovoltaic modules integrated into the company's EnerPlex™ series of
consumer products, announced today the company's new distribution
partnership with Navarre, a business unit of WYNIT Distribution.
WYNIT’s Navarre business unit has a long history of connecting brands
and consumers through their partnership with well-known retailers
throughout North America.
Richard Hashim, General Manager of EnerPlex, said, "The response to our
EnerPlex products in 2014 has been overwhelmingly positive, and our
partnership with Navarre will allow us access to an even wider range of
retailers and consumers. EnerPlex will certainly benefit from their
experience and knowledge of the consumer marketplace, and will leverage
this knowledge to continue our growth.”
“EnerPlex provides a truly unique set of products for consumers, ones
which we feel fill a very specific need which currently is not met by
other products in the market. We believe EnerPlex can quickly become a
leader in the consumer portable power space,” said Ward Thomas,
Executive Vice President, Navarre Division.
EnerPlex has 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.
