To expand distribution of EnerPlex™ series in North American Market, Ascent Solar Technologies, a developer and manufacturer of thin-film PV modules, entered into a new distribution partnership with Navarre, a business unit of WYNIT Distribution.

Richard Hashim, General Manager of EnerPlex, said, "The response to our EnerPlex products in 2014 has been overwhelmingly positive, and our partnership with Navarre will allow us access to an even wider range of retailers and consumers.”

“EnerPlex provides a truly unique set of products for consumers, ones which we feel fill a very specific need which currently is not met by other products in the market. We believe EnerPlex can quickly become a leader in the consumer portable power space,” said Ward Thomas, Executive Vice President, Navarre Division.

EnerPlex has changed the paradigm of solar-integrated consumer electronics, providing consumers with lightweight, powerful and extremely durable charging solutions for all their portable electronics. Surfr™, a line of solar and battery integrated phone cases, allows users to charge their phone anywhere and in cases of emergency. Kickr™, a line of portable solar chargers, provides a charging solution for most USB-enabled devices, enabling power to be generated almost anywhere and in nearly every situation, perfect for emergency preparedness. With the addition of the Jumpr™ line of portable batteries, consumers now have a complete, integrated, solar charging and storage solution for life on the go.
