<p style="color:windowtext;margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">[Littleton, CO] Ascent
Solar Technologies, Inc., (NASDAQ: ASTI; BSX: AKC) announced today that Mark
Waller resigned from its Board of Directors effective November 30, 2006.&#160; The company will immediately begin a search
for a candidate to fill the vacant Board position.</font></p>

<p style="color:windowtext;margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In his letter of
resignation, Mark Waller stated &#147;it has been a real pleasure to serve as a
Director on the Ascent Solar Board and I am certain the company will continue
to make great strides forward. Unfortunately, my position as a member of the
Ascent Solar Board has become too restrictive and potentially conflicting with
my principal business as a financial advisor to other companies particularly
within the energy sector.&#160; I feel it is
appropriate for me to depart at this time so that I can more freely pursue
opportunities within the exciting and growing field of energy.&#148;&#160; Ascent Solar plans to use Mr. Waller&#146;s
services from time to time on a consulting basis.</font></p>

<p style="color:windowtext;margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Ascent Solar President
and CEO, Matthew Foster stated &#147;we are saddened by Mark&#146;s departure, but we
also understand his decision and commend his integrity and high standards of
business conduct. Mark has been an invaluable resource who has served Ascent
Solar in exceptional fashion from its very beginnings. He will be greatly
missed as a director, but we look forward to retaining him as a consultant to
the company.&#148;</font></p>
