Ascent Solar Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:ASTI), a developer of state-of-the-art, flexible thin-film photovoltaic modules, has announced the retail debut of the company's EnerPlex solar assisted battery case for the iPhone 4 and 4S with Korean distributor H3P Co., Ltd. The EnerPlex cases are available at selected retail stores and online through the distributor's website at www.h3p.co.kr as well as several popular online stores in Korea such as Naver's "Shop N" and E-Bay Korea's "G-Market."
