Marlboro,
MA, USA: Evergreen Solar Launches New Line of Solar Panels for
the Off-Grid Market
Evergreen
Solar today introduced its new ES-C Series solar panels, designed
to substantially expand the company’s offering for the global
off-grid market. This new line of 80, 120 and 125 W panels will
be manufactured by Evergreen Solar’s contract manufacturing partner,
Jiawei Solarchina Co., Ltd., using cells supplied by Evergreen
Solar.
The
ES-C Series of panels are suitable for direct 12, 24 or 48V battery
charging in a wide variety of off-grid applications. The panels
provide higher voltages for superior battery charging performance,
particularly in hotter climates. Similar to the current line of
Evergreen Solar panels serving on-grid markets, the ES-C line
of panels deliver more electricity with the least environmental
impact of any silicon based solar panel currently available.
“The
ES-C Series enables Evergreen Solar to capitalize on the expanding
off-grid solar market and further positions the company as a leader
in the global solar industry,” said Dr. Terry Bailey, Senior Vice
President, Marketing and Sales. “Like all Evergreen Solar products
this product line has been designed with differentiating performance
characteristics to distinguish them from commodity-like competitors
and provides better battery charging capability than other major
brands. At the same time, we are proud to lead the industry in
environmental credentials with the smallest carbon footprint and
the quickest energy payback of any silicon-based panel available
today.”
The
ES-C Series panels are constructed with conduit-ready, multi-configuration
junction boxes for easy, flexible installation. The panel’s double-walled,
high-strength frame allows it to withstand the harshest of wind
or snow conditions. The panels are also designed to fully comply
with UL 1703 (for U.S. and Canada) and IEC standards (approval
pending) and carry with them a five-year workmanship and 25-year
power warranty. Evergreen is accepting orders now for initial
shipments beginning in October.
