Ascent太阳能科技公司日前获得了美国军方的高级研究部门的合同。军方一直要求Ascent制造成本低，重量轻，可适应战斗条件和极端环境的太阳能光伏组件。公司股价在早盘交易中上涨了17美分，即6%，至3.06美元，但这个股价仍接近其12个月的2.88美元低点。去年该公司交易股价曾高达8.83美元。
该项目将分三期完成，其中第一项为期18个月。第一阶段价值约380万美元。整个方案由美国国防高级研究计划局操作，预计将持续4到5年。
Ascent Solar Technologies Inc. has won a contract from U.S. military's advanced research department, the company said Tuesday.
Ascent has been asked to create low-cost, lightweight solar modules that can stand up to battle conditions and environmental extremes.
Company shares rose 17 cents, or 6 percent, to $3.06 in morning trading, but still close to its 12-month low of $2.88. It has traded as high as $8.83 in the past year.
The project will be completed in three phases, the first of which is 18 months. The first phase is worth about $3.8 million.
The entire program, run by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, is expected to continue over the next 4.5 years.
