ASCA

ASCA produces flexible thin film organic photovoltaic modules, largely targeting building integrated/applied applications (BIPV/BAPV). At InnoLAE 2023, it outlined how using BIPV/BAPV to meet regulatory/planning requirements on new buildings substantially changes the business model compared to conventional PV. A wide range of ASCA's projects were also presented.

ASCA has purchased the most relevant device- and module-related intellectual property portfolio regarding printed OPV. At the end of 2021, ASCA took patents on OPV production and technology from the Darmstadt, Germany-based leading science and technology company Merck. With this purchase, ASCA has become the largest portfolio owner with regard to printed OPV worldwide through tripling its number of patents.

ASCA solar films can be used in a wide range of applications - from individual small projects to facades in commercial housing construction. In the community of Löchgau in Germany the company has designed, conceived and implemented a solar tree for the construction company STRENGER Bauen und Wohnen.
