A year ago ASTI's technology was a lab experiment, now it's a manufacturing experiment. In a few months it will be a sales experiment.
As for the weight, 5 psf comes to 15,000 lbs to cover 3,000 square feet as opposed to 750 lbs. using ASTI's module which weighs 1/4 lbs. per square foot. This suggests applications beyond installations on well built roofs. Perhaps they intend to build sun shades for parking lots.
