Ascent Solar begins CIGS production in FAB 2 Plant
“Initial production from FAB 2 is producing 10.5% efficient modules with peak module aperture efficiency as high as 11.9%” says President and CEO of Ascent Solar.
Ascent Solar Technologies a developer of flexible thin-film solar modules, announces that it has successfully begun production of monolithically integrated flexible CIGS modules from its high volume FAB 2 production plant in Thornton, Colorado.
“Ascent Solar is the first company to commence regular production of monolithically integrated lightweight thin-film CIGS modules using a plastic substrate “, said Farhad Moghadam President and CEO of Ascent Solar. “ This milestone marks the initiation of our regular production capability and our factory ramp up based on market demand.”
The company has also issued a video virtual tour of its FAB 2 production plant which can be accesses via the following link: http://www.

Bridgelux and Molex win LIGHTFAIR award for innovation
LED chip manufacturer Bridgelux and Molex win “Most Innovative Product of the Year Award” for Helieon Sustainable Light Module
The Helieon LED lighting system is claimed to be the first plug-and-play, sustainable solid state lighting module to integrate high-efficiency precision lighting with an easy-to-use socketed solution to accelerate innovation and enable the mass adoption of solid state lighting.
Combining solid state lighting technology from Bridgelux and interconnect technology from Molex, the Helieon lighting system provides easy interchangeability, upgradeability and replacement.
The system emulates a traditional lighting socket in that beam angle, color temperature and light output can all be easily changed or upgraded with a simple twist of a wrist after installation without the complexity and expense of removing the luminaire. High system efficacy enables luminaires with operating efficiencies of >50 lm/W.
Product options are tailored to match light output levels of traditional light sources, delivering between 500 and 1,500 lumens under application conditions in halogen and fluorescent color temperature options. Helieon modules are available with narrow, medium and wide flood beam spread options that enable precision effects for a wide variety of lighting applications.
Cree introduces highest performance six- inch LED downlight
At 80 lumens per Watt, the downlight consumes half the energy of a typical downlight while delivering the same light output
Cree has unveiled a new, high-output six-inch LED downlight featuring Cree TrueWhite™ Technology. The LR6-DR1000 delivers 70% more light than the original LR6™ and features a 20-degree shield angle for lighting designs that require greater brightness control.
Using 12.5 watts of input power to deliver 1000 lumens, the LR6-DR1000 is claimed to have unmatched fixture efficacy of up to 84 lumens per watt.
“With the introduction of the LR6-DR1000, Cree continues to extend the superior color quality and high efficacy of TrueWhite Technology,” remarked Gary Trott, VP of Market
