Evergreen Solar, Inc., incorporated in August 1994, develops, manufactures and markets solar power products enabled by its String Ribbon technology that provides reliable and environmentally clean electric power throughout the world. Its products are targeted at on grid and off-grid applications. The Company is developing technology at the wafer, cell and module stages of manufacturing, and it holds patents and other intellectual property in all three areas. In the String Ribbon technique, strings are pulled vertically through a shallow pool of molten silicon and the silicon solidifies between the strings to form a continuous ribbon of crystalline silicon. The ribbon is then cut and prepared for cell fabrication.
