Evergreen solar module performance. [RE-wrenches]

[Bob Maynard, Energy Outfitters]

Vince,

I just recieved samples of the 51w and 110w, Evergreen, Cedar line.  I would
rate the physical construction average to above average.  J-box is installer
friendly.  110's can be field configured for nominal 12 or 24 volts.
Warranty is 20 power output, standard PV industry warranty language, 90%
power first ten years, 80% through year 20.  Warranty info at
http://www.evergreensolar.com/egsolar1/pdf/ecmanual17.pdf

Ihave not had a chance to test these for power output yet.  The efficiency
is lower than other poly modules, but their manufacturing process is unique
and holds good promise (IMHO) to possibly lower PV costs significantly.
Their poly cells are different looking due to the ribbon technology.  The
cells use significantly less silicon than others according to what I've
read.  Will let you know when I get some time (Yea,Right!) to test.
Regards,

Hola
I was wondering if any one on the wrenches list has any experience with
Evergreen Solar Modules. I have a customer that is interested in using
EC-102 or EC-110 modules for his system. His primary interest in them is
that they are manufactured in the U.S. I've never used their products and
all I know about them is that their warranty doesn't seem that great.

Muchas Gracias
