Evergreen Solar, Inc., a manufacturer of String Ribbon solar power products with its proprietary silicon wafer technology, introduced its newest ES-A series solar panel, a 215-watt panel that is the company’s most powerful to date, at the Solar Expo in Verona, Italy, May 5-7, 2010.

The ES-A series is a range of high quality String Ribbon solar panels offering exceptional performance and industry-leading environmental credentials. This new ES-A-215 panel complements the company’s current line of 200, 205 and 210 watt solar panels designed with a black frame that, when installed on roofs, improves the aesthetic appearance of solar arrays.

“Our new ES-A 215 solar panel continues to position Evergreen Solar as a leader in producing powerful, efficient, and environmentally-friendly solar panels,” said Scott Gish, Evergreen Solar’s vice president, sales and marketing. “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 of any silicon-based solar panel available today.”
