Evergreen Solar
Evergreen 100 Series PV Panels

Photovoltaics (PV) provide clean, quiet, reliable electricity from sunlight where traditional sources are too distant, expensive, or environmentally unacceptable. With no moving parts to wear out, no emissions of any kind, and a limitless, readilyavailable power source, PV meets the need for electricity in places and ways that other sources simply cannot.

Outstanding flexibility for optimal system design

  • EC-100 series modules are field-selectable to nominal 12- or 24- volt configurations.
  • Junction boxes have two spare terminals for pass-through wiring and four knockouts, providing designers and installers with interconnection options for every application.

Easier, faster, more accurate wiring

  • The junction box has a captive lid and fastener, eliminating the possibility of losing vital parts.
  • The lid of the junction box even has a detent to hold it open during the wiring process.
  • Generous junction box size, clear markings, and separate terminals for factory and field wiring help make wiring easy, accurate, and reliable.
  • Available with factory-installed wires, connectors, and bypass diode(s).

Advanced technology with promise for the future

  • String Ribbon™ polycrystalline solar cells outperform thin films and achieve comparable performance to bulk crystalline technologies while using half as much silicon.
  • The proprietary cell fabrication process is among the most environmentally friendly in the business.

Predictable, reliable, long-term performance

  • Each module is individually tested to ensure field performance meets or exceeds specifications.
  • Solar cells are matched to reduce internal losses and the possibility of hot spots.
  • Rugged, durable anodized aluminum frame makes for strong, stable mechanical mounting.
  • Industry standard EVA (Ethyl Vinyl Acetate) and TedlarTM construction protects solar cells from mechanical and environmental stress.
Electrical Characteristics for the Evergreen 100 Series

EC-100 Series modules, EC-102/110/115, can be wired for 12-volt or 24-volt operation by moving the jumpers and diodes, as shown in the following diagram. It is recommended that bypass diodes be installed, especially if the modules are connected in a series string. The diodes should be rated at or above the system voltage rating. Such diodes should be installed one every 36 cells, as shown in the following diagram.

Junction Box12/24V Wiring

 

In 12-volt mode, the six terminals include two positive terminals, two negative terminals, and two spare terminals. In the 12-volt configuration, the two positive terminals are electrically equivalent, and either one can be used for power wiring; similarly for the two negative terminals. In 24-volt mode (EC-100 Series modules only), the middle two terminals should not be used for power wiring, only for jumpers and diodes.

Technology

To understand the importance of String Ribbon technology is to grasp the elegant balance it strikes between conventional and emerging technologies.

String Ribbon TechnologyString Ribbon combines the best attributes of conventional crystalline silicon and emerging thin films. It achieves the reliability, stability, high efficiency, and market acceptance of crystalline silicon - without the inherent cost and waste of sawing. And it embodies the efficient material utilization and potential for continuous processing of thin films, but with a more manufacturable process.

In the String Ribbon technique, two high temperature strings are pulled vertically through a shallow silicon melt, and the molten silicon spans and freezes between the strings. The process is continuous: long strings are unwound from spools; the melt is replenished; and the silicon ribbon is cut to length for further processing, without interrupting growth. This advantage in material efficiency means String Ribbon yields over twice as many solar cells per pound of silicon as conventional methods. Additionally, the resulting distinctive shape of the solar cell allows for a high packing density.

Ongoing technology development shows great promise for even lower cost. Early experiments have produced 15% solar cells on thin 100 micron wafers. And downstream, in cells and modules, Evergreen Solar is developing processes that are simple, continuous, non-vacuum, high throughput, environmentally benign, and energy efficient.
