2024 Achievements and Milestones; Looks Ahead to Executing Upon 2025 Strategy

On January 14^th ASTI commented on its commercial progress and solar material development in 2024, as the Company looks ahead to continued corporate growth in 2025.

"In the last year we made a more concerted effort toward optimizing our thin-film PV offerings for use in space environments, an initiative that addresses a high growth market in 2025 and beyond," said Paul Warley, CEO of Ascent Solar Technologies. "This year, our partners and shareholders can expect to see us build upon the space-focused foundation we set in 2024. With the national government poised to put a greater emphasis on space and defense capabilities, we believe Ascent is well-positioned for increased long-term success this year."

Key ASTI milestones and achievements included:

ASTI CIGS technology continued to benefit from improvements in material quality, due to process improvements, increased radiation resistance of assembled modules and panels, increased technology efficiency and areal density through changes to chemistry and production design optimization. These milestones were instrumental in increasing the applicability of the technology in the space market, leading to the ordering of the Company's thin-film PV from a leading mega-constellation satellite manufacturer.

ASTI made great strides in improving its financial position within the solar industry through resolving debts for outstanding balances, reducing and removing warrants, completing fundraising efforts with board and executives, and more.

Last year's strong focus on mutually beneficial partnerships will play a key role in the Company's future success, including its respective partnerships with Momentus and The University of Stuttgart IGTE, among others. Beyond those partnerships, 2024 also saw ASTI create its Strategic Advisory Board, populating it with industry experts who aim to guide the Company to greater success in 2025 and beyond.
