Pullback Likely on Relatively Weak Stock

This stock is ramping up production finally...look for profits to ramp up also

Recent certification of modules is milestone and will allow the company to move forward with industry cert testing. Much potential and applications of their product is almost unlimited. Ready to roll!

Look for this stock to keep ging up over the next year. We will have a short term pop from here. The stock is just about book value, but the company is about to report earnings from its frist production line. Within 1 year, production ramp-up will go from 1.5 MW to 31.5 MW. Ascent Solar has govenment contract for guarenteed near space applications and plenty of other partners already signed up to buy all their capacity for years to come at great margins. Ascent is the only CIGS on plastic maker in the world and can make the lightest, most efficent solar cells in the world because they are on plastic. Ascent's product will be a game changer and a disruptive technology to silicon based products. Watch for a possible buyout on this company at around $30 per share in the next year.

New Production will manufacture Solar Panels that can be molded into building material such as paneling and roofing material. It just seems like a win-win situation.

i like this solar company we'll see what the future holds in store

High risk, high reward opportunity. Solar is a competitive industry with awesome growth potential. There will be spectacular gains, as well as dismal flops. This outfit may go either way, but risk-reward looks appealing. They have over $6/share in cash and book value of over $7, so they should be able to hang in there until profitability. Time will tell. I do have some real $$ invested in this one...

One of very few players in CIS/CIGS thin-film technology. Less efficient, but MUCH cheaper than poly- or mono- Si. Similar to what FSLR does with CdTe thin film, but currentrly slightly more efficient and more expensive. Good spec play on solar.

Ascent makes rolls of lightweight CIGS on plastic. They are one third owned by Norsk Hydro, whose building systems group could probably use everything they'll be able to produce. They also have relationships with a Spanish roofing company, Itochu in Japan, and ICP Solar in Canada. Their material will be easier to use and less expensive to install in small applications than anything else out there. They are having success with their initial pilot plant and they are building out their first 30MW plant next year. They are priced at $9 after a secondary offering at $14 about two months ago. Their market cap is only $172MM, with a large percentage of that as cash.

Good business model and management team. Looking to spike after we get through the summer.

Hot sector. Will see consolidation going forward.

NIce to have!

The low-cost alternative to 20% efficient solar cells is ASTI technology. $10 is a good buy in.

New institutional interest. Executives have stopped selling. Look for a reversal. Undervalued. In the solar sector.
