"Dr. Nath's track record speaks for itself and he has laid a superb foundation for this company to continue to scale its manufacturing capability and capacity,” Farhad Moghadam, Ascent Solar president and CEO, said. “We thank Dr. Nath for his extraordinary service and innovative efforts while at Ascent Solar. Building on this foundation, the team at Ascent Solar will now pursue high volume commercial manufacturing, the next phase of growth for our company."
