NYSERDA Develops Solar For New York State

The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) is working with Ascent Solar Technologies on the development of light weight flexible structures that include energy production from solar electric modules produced by Ascent Solar.

"From a New York perspective, the potential for this firm to bring product development and manufacturing to the Empire State is very encouraging and supports Governor Paterson's goal to attract clean energy efficiency manufacturing jobs to our state." said NYSERDA President and CEO Francis J. Murray, Jr.

The development work will be carried out under a $22,500 collaborative agreement between FTL Solar and the Center for Advanced Microelectronic Manufacturing in Endicott, and the Center for Autonomous Solar at Binghamton University.
