With innovations like String Ribbon manufacturing, it’s no wonder Evergreen Solar is recognized as the brightest star in the solar industry. But String Ribbon is just the beginning. We have more innovations in the works, including a revolutionary method of producing thinner wafers, and unique ways to boost our manufacturing and product efficiencies even further. Add the fact that we manufacture everything — wafers, cells and panels — all under one roof for ultimate quality control, and it’s clear that Evergreen Solar is committed to being the best in the industry. String Ribbon — Genius in its Simplicity Silicon wafers form the basis of solar cells and the bulk of all solar panels made today. Conventional technologies for producing silicon wafers are based on energy-intensive casting and oil-based machining and cutting of large silicon blocks. Not something you’d expect from a hi-tech, clean energy product. Our cutting-edge “String Ribbon” wafer technology in contrast is genius in its simplicity, efficiency and cleanliness. String Ribbon is a concept originating from the natural science of “surface tension”. In simple terms the making of a String Ribbon wafer is just like the making of a soap bubble — the surface tension between the soapy bubble solution and the wand creates the bubble. The only difference is that instead of the “ring” inside which a bubble forms, we use two parallel wires between which a thin film of silicon is formed. With our proprietary technique, two heat-resistant wires are pulled vertically through a silicon melt, and the molten silicon spans and solidifies between the strings. The process is continuous, silent and clean: long wires unwind from spools, run through the molten silicon and pull a long “ribbon” of silicon out of the melt. The ribbon is harvested periodically and cut into smaller pieces for further processing into solar cells. All this happens in our state-of-the-art, table-top sized furnaces. Our current Gemini II furnaces grow two 3.2-inch (80mm) wide ribbons at a time. We’re already working on the second generation furnace technology which will grow four ribbons at the same time.

EA 10:Renewable Energy—CAN HELP QUALIFY These Evergreen Spruce Line™ Photovoltaic Solar Panels will allow for some LEED points to be granted. The number of LEED points depends on the annual kWh production of the panel. This kWh production figure is dependent on the specific place and way that these panels are intstaled. Please contact a local solar Evergreen solar installer to find out specific details.
