Evergreen Solar Cedar Series
The patented string ribbon technology is used to make the Evergreen Solar Cedar Series where the solar module uses half as much silicon used by other manufacturers of solar modules. Interestingly, the string ribbon technology is an alternative emerging technology, considered to be one of the most environment friendly solar module manufacturing processes. With a nominal voltage output of 12 volts, these modules are available in a wide range of wattages. The open circuit voltage is nearly 20 volts where the voltage at maximum power situation is 17. Though manufacturing defects are unheard of, the Evergreen Solar Cedar Series carry a 25 year warranty.
Though there have been customers who have commented on the wrinkled look of the cells and the irregular spacing and alignment of the cells, caused as an effect of the string ribbon technology, these in no way impacts the overall performance and efficiency of the module. Of course, the modules are usually placed on rooftops, where even the most ‘perfect looks seeking’ user would not be able to see.
One of the best aspects of Evergreen products is that they manufacture their own wafers, cells and modules. This is a guarantee and a redeeming assurance that the highest quality components go into every one of Evergreen's panels, and there is no scope for any sub-optimally functioning part to be included.
Since solar is their only line of business, you can expect consistency in the quality of all their products. A fully integrated and independent company, Evergreen's undying commitment to the environment is matched only by their commitment to their customer needs. If you also believe that using green technology is the only way to go for preserving the future of our planet, then Evergreen should be your company of choice for solar products.
Evergreen is scheduled to phase out the old 12/24V NKP line of modules with the field configurable junction box with the new GDK line. These new line 12V modules will have slim sealed junction boxes with built in MC Connectors which can make any installation a cake walk.
