Busi­ness Summary

Ever­green Solar, Inc. devel­ops, man­u­fac­tures, and mar­kets solar power prod­ucts pri­mar­ily in the United States and Europe. The com­pany man­u­fac­tures String Rib­bon solar pan­els uti­liz­ing its pro­pri­etary wafer man­u­fac­tur­ing tech­nol­ogy, which involves a process to pro­duce multi-crystalline sil­i­con wafers by grow­ing thin strips of sil­i­con that are cut into wafers. Its prod­ucts include wafers, which are flat pieces of crys­talline sil­i­con that can be processed and assem­bled into solar cells; cells, devices made from sil­i­con wafer and con­vert sun­light into elec­tric­ity by means of a process known as the pho­to­voltaic effect; and pan­els, which are assem­blies of solar cells that are elec­tri­cally inter­con­nected and lam­i­nated in a durable and weather-tight pack­age. It sells its prod­ucts through domes­tic and inter­na­tional dis­trib­u­tors, sys­tem inte­gra­tors, project devel­op­ers, and other resellers. The com­pany has a strate­gic part­ner­ship agree­ment with Q-Cells AG. Ever­green Solar, Inc. was founded in 1994 and is based in Marl­boro, Mass­a­chu­setts.
