Ascent Solar Technologies Inc of Thornton, CO, USA, which makes lightweight, flexible copper indium gallium diselenide (CIGS) thin-film photovoltaic modules that it integrates into its EnerPlex series of consumer products, has signed Hitfar Concepts Ltd as the preferred distribution partner of EnerPlex consumer products in Canada.
Hitfar is Canada’s largest wireless accessory distributor, working with all the major Canadian telecoms companies (e.g. Bell, Rogers & Telus) as well as national retailers such as Glentel (Canada’s largest independent mobile phone retailer, which operate over 500 locations across the country).
“Our main goal at Hitfar is to provide real value to our clients and customers; the EnerPlex product line will allow us to accomplish this in a new way, empowering our customers to leave the outlet behind during their adventures while still staying powered up,” says Jason Osborne, senior manager – Product & Inventory at Hitfar. “EnerPlex products represent and enable a shift in how consumers in Canada and across the world will use their portable electronics in the future,” he adds.
EnerPlex offers a complete portable power solution by uniting its lightweight and rugged solar with power storage solutions. With ruggedized products, which can withstand harsh environments, EnerPlex provides charging solutions for consumers who want to get off the grid.
“The Canadian market provides a strong brand and revenue growth opportunity, and our partnership with Hitfar will allow us to immediately leverage their robust distribution network across Canada,” says EnerPlex general manager Richard Hashim.
