Manufactures flexible CIGS photovoltaic modules and provides engineering services through a single PV segment. The modules target uses where rigid panels may not fit, including aerospace, satellites, near-Earth-orbit vehicles, fixed-wing UAVs, and power beaming. Its flexible form factor supports applications demanding high power-to-weight and power-to-area performance in demanding settings.
Sales were primarily in North America at year-end 2025. Production, R&D, and process work are based in Thornton, Colorado, with limited industrial-scale capacity. Commercial traction relies on direct customers, distributors, value-added resellers, and e-commerce channels, alongside concentration in a single customer.
