Evergreen Solar modules are designed to deliver the best performance and dependability from Evergreen Solars patented String Ribbon wafer technology. These modules have one of the tightest power tolerances in the industry.
Performance
- Maximum power up to 5W above rated
- Anti-reflection cover glass delivers more energy
- A rigid, double-walled, deep frame with integrated water drainage holes
- Crimped frame corners no screws to loosen
- Sealed junction box on ES-A modules never needs field maintenance
Environmental Credentials
- Low lead use of lead-free solder for all solar cell inter-connections
- 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
PV modules produced by Evergreen Solar are distinctive in their appearance because they incorporate a 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 is 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-A modules utilize three parallel strings of 38 cells in series giving an 18-volt peak power voltage which allows 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 MC4 locking connectors, PV Wire, and black anodized frames. Made in USA.
Evergreen modules are ETL listed to UL 1703 for U.S. and Canada. Modules have a 10-year 90% power warranty, 25-year 80% power warranty.
