Agreement to Deliver Thin-Film Solar Technology to a Colorado-Based Space Solar Array Provider for Product Evaluation
On July 16th ASTI announced it has entered into an agreement to supply a Colorado-based power systems provider with thin-film PV technology for evaluation and potential incorporation into the provider's established array product offering. ASTI will deliver the units for evaluation before the end of July 2025, demonstrating its market-leading speed to fulfill orders.
ASTI is able to offer mission-optimized solar array solutions using its CIGS PV product line that has been developed with spaceflight heritage. These high-maturity CIGS PV products are produced domestically in the ASTI 5 MW facility in Thornton, CO, enabling array deliveries in just six-to-eight weeks. In contrast, most competitors are unable to meet tight delivery deadlines, often requiring lead times of nine-to-twelve months. In recent months, ASTI has received several orders for solar hardware that are on schedule to be completed and delivered this summer.
H1 2025 Achievements and Milestones, Looking Ahead to Executing Upon H2 2025 Strategy
On July 8th ASTI commented on its commercial progress and solar material development in the first half of 2025, as the Company looks ahead to continued growth and advancement in the second half of the year.
Key ASTI milestones and achievements from the first half of 2025 include:
Entering into a Collaborative Agreement Notice with NASA to advance the development of ASTI thin-film PV power beaming capabilities.
Announcing the pricing of a $2 million public offering of shares which provides liquidity into 2026.
The design and delivery of rapidly customized thin-film solar solutions with a series of new partners.
Reaching record new efficiency of 15.7% at production scale for ASTI CIGS solar technology.
Efforts to co-develop a unique deployment architecture using well established actuated tape technology commonly used on orbit.
Increased engagement within the solar and space communities through attendance at industry events, including the 40th Annual Space Symposium, the Stratospheric Operations & Research Symposium 2025, the 2025 SatShow, and more.
Conducting a series of facility tours for prospective customers and partners in the solar, space and defense industries.
ASTI leadership plans to build upon these achievements throughout the remainder of the year through:

Collaborative Agreement Notice with NASA to Advance Development of Thin-Film PV Power Beaming Capabilities
On June 26th ASTI announced commencing work on a Collaborative Agreement Notice (CAN) with NASA Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) and support from NASA Glenn Research Center (GRC) to efficiently advance capabilities for receiving beamed power using CIGS PV modules.
The CAN is evaluating the ability of ASTI CIGS PV modules to generate power while illuminated by energy-dense beams of light, with goals to convert more usable power from the equivalent of tens of Earth's Sun. The ability to remotely receive 10x more power on-demand while using the same PV cells tasked with collecting sunlight can significantly reduce solar array mass and volume required to meet mission power needs. In practice, this suggests that beamed-power architectures can lead to reductions of both spacecraft mass and volume budgets. These size efficiencies will result in agency payloads proportionally increasing relative to the spacecraft as a whole, thus allowing the prioritization of more technology, science and exploration within limited mission budgets.
Planetary missions require advanced surface mobility logistics and depend on power generation subsystems that comprise a substantial proportion of the landed downmass. It is here where ASTI poses a potential solution for reducing spacecraft power system mass and volume needs, creating a significant impact on the mission.
The CAN's goals include increasing the array power output while lengthening the operational duty cycles to verify that improvements to this emerging technology can help enable NASA to effectively and efficiently achieve the agency's Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) missions, Artemis campaign to the Moon, and planetary science objectives. This includes enabling surviving the lunar night as well as powering remote access to areas of scientific interest such as cold traps and permanently shadowed regions on the Moon (PSRs) where water, the potential key to lunar in-situ resource utilization (ISRU), is believed to be located in high concentrations. Ultimately, this could lead to an order of magnitude reduction in the downmass required to access expensive space exploration and science mission destinations. The going rate for robotic landers on the Moon is between 6 & 7-figures per kilogram delivered to the lunar surface, equating to upwards of tens of millions of potential savings per lander mission.
