Ascent Solar Technologies, Inc., a manufacturer of consumer and off-grid products integrated with state-of-the-art, flexible thin-film photovoltaic modules, announced today the debut of the company's newest additions to the Kickr line of personal solar chargers, the EnerPlex™Kickr™ I and II.

Both the Kickr I & II are available to purchase via Ascent's retail locations in the Denver metropolitan area as well as online through www.goenerplex.com.

The Kickr I, with a 1.5 watt output is perfect for charging batteries and power banks; while the Kickr II is capable of charging most smartphones in under five hours with a 3 watt output. Both the Kickr I & II are lightweight, flexible and compact, allowing for easy attachment to anything imaginable, from a bike to a backpack.

The Kickr line of personal solar chargers is uniquely enabled by the flexible, rugged, lightweight and thin form factor of Ascent's proprietary CIGS solar cells. EnerPlex™Kickr™ products are perfect for consumers who desire a robust, durable and rugged charging solution when off the grid, unlike chargers manufactured by competitors using traditional rigid mono-crystalline solar panels which are heavy, fragile and cumbersome.

Ascent Solar's Vice President of Product Development, Robert Meck said: "The Kickr I & II and the expansion of the Kickr line represents another step forward for Ascent's consumer brand, EnerPlex™ as we continue to deliver rugged and innovative solutions to consumers who require the absolute best in portable charging solutions, whether they are working in a remote oil field or summiting a treacherous peak."
