Evergreen Solar
NEW! ES and ES-A Modules
Evergreen Solar modules are designed to deliver the best performance and dependability from Evergreen Solar's patented String Ribbon wafer technology. These modules have one of the tightest power tolerances in the industry.
Superior Performance
• Maximum power up to 4% above rated, minimum only 2% below rated
• Anti-reflection cover glass delivers more energy
• Backed by a 25-year limited power warranty, 2-year workmanship warranty
• A rigid, double-walled, deep frame with integrated water drainage holes
• Crimped frame corners - no screws to loosen
• Sealed junction box never needs field maintenance
• UL, cUL, and CEC approved
Leading Environmental Credentials
• Energy payback time up to 40% faster than leading crystalline technologies
• Low carbon dioxide emissions in the manufacturing process - up to 33% less than other leading crystalline technologies
• Low lead - use of lead-free solder for all solar cell interconnections
PV modules produced by Evergreen Solar are distinctive in their appearance because they incorporate proprietary crystalline silicon technology known as String Ribbon. In the String Ribbon technique, two high-temperature strings are pulled vertically through a shallow silicon melt, and the molten silicon spans and freezes between the strings. The process in continuous: long strings are unwound from spools, the melt is replenished, and the silicon ribbon is cut to length for further processing, without interrupting growth.
Evergreen ES modules utilize two parallel strings of 54 cells in series. They can be used for battery charging with an MPPT charge controller such as the OutBack MX-60, Apollo T-80 or the BlueSky series of charge controllers. Use up to 3 modules in series with the MX-60 or T-80 charge controller. Evergreen ES-A modules utilize three parallel strings of 38 cells in series giving an 18-volt peak power voltage which allows easier string sizing and fewer strings in grid-tie systems and also provides optimum voltage for battery charging with conventional as well as MPPT charge controllers.
They have Multi-Contact cables. Evergreen modules are UL, cUL and CEC approved. Modules are made in either USA or Germany. 10-year 90% power warranty, 25-year 80% power warranty.
