The ES-A series is a range of high quality String Ribbon solar panels offering exceptional performance, cost effective installation and industry-leading environmental credentials. Based on customer input, these panels feature new extended length cables that can eliminate home-run wiring, new clickable connectors that make connections between panels quick and reliable, as well as a new low voltage configuration that enables the most cost-effective commercial-scale installations.

All Evergreen Solar panels are constructed using its "String Ribbon" technology which is the most environmentally-friendly process in the industry with virtually no wasted silicon. The carbon footprint of these panels is up to 50% smaller than that of its competitors'.

These solar panels also have the quickest energy payback, now as fast as 12 months for installed panels. And to round out the Company's leading environmental credentials, the new ES-A series also uses 100% cardboard-free packaging to minimize job site waste and disposal costs.

"The ES-A Series further positions Evergreen Solar as a leader in producing powerful, efficient, and environmentally-friendly solar panels," said Dr. Terry Bailey, Senior Vice President, Marketing and Sales.

"These panels are our most powerful solar panels to date with the tightest power tolerance in the industry meaning our customers get optimal system performance. At the same time, we are proud to lead the industry in environmental credentials with the smallest carbon footprint and the quickest energy payback available today."

The new ES-A series panels are the first production using the Company's revolutionary Quad furnace which creates four silicon "ribbons" simultaneously and uses state of the art automated ribbon-cutting technology. The Company's new Quad furnace was also on display at InterSolar 2008.

The Quad furnaces will be used for all of the company's production in its new manufacturing plant in Devens, Massachusetts scheduled to start panel production by July of this year.

The ES-A Series panels are made using Evergreen Solar's proprietary "String Ribbon" technology. In the String Ribbon process, a set of special parallel strings are pulled continuously through a small molten pool of silicon inside a custom furnace.

A thin "ribbon" is created between the two strings as the silicon cools and re-crystallizes. The ribbon is then cut into wafers, which are converted into solar cells and used in the production of solar panels - all under one roof. The process is continuous, clean and efficient.
