Evergreen Solar Introduces String Ribbon Solar Panels
Marlboro MA (SPX) Oct 15, 2008 Evergreen Solar has introduced its new American-made ES-A Series Solar Panels during Solar Power International in San Diego. This new line of 200, 205 and 210 W solar panels features the most powerful products Evergreen Solar has ever produced. With a -0, +5W power specification, the ES-A Series also provides the best power tolerance currently available in the industry. 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. With a design driven by customers, these panels feature new extended length cables that can eliminate home-run wiring, new clickable connectors that make connections between panels quick and reliable, and a new low-voltage configuration that enables the most cost-effective commercial-scale installations. These new panels, made in the USA at the company's new flagship production facility in Devens, Massachusetts, recently received both CEC recognition and ETL Listing to the American and Canadian UL Standard 1703. The new ES-A Series panels also have a CEC approved 90.4 percent PTC/STC rating, compared with most other major brands of multi-crystalline silicon panels which have ratings under 90%. "Our American-made ES-A Series panels further position 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 right out of the box. 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." All Evergreen Solar panels are constructed using proprietary, low-cost wafer manufacturing 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 new ES-A series panels are the first production using the Company's revolutionary Quad furnace which creates four silicon wafer strips that are then cut using Evergreen Solar's proprietary "Cut on the Fly" laser systems. The Company's new Quad furnace was also on display at Solar Power International. The Quad furnaces are being used for all of the company's production in its new manufacturing plant in Devens, Massachusetts which started panel production in July of this year.
