Evergreen Solar just announced that a new 5MW Italian solar plant is online using Evergreen Solar panels, the largest Evergreen installation thus far. The plant uses 24,600 Evergreen Solar ES-A series String Ribbon solar panels to produce sufficient electricity for about 2,400 homes.
In a press release, Scott Gish, Evergreen Solar’s vice president of sales and marketing, commented on the news:
“This is a milestone project for Evergreen Solar as we continue to expand our company’s global footprint with the largest installation in company history. Italy is an important and growing market for solar power because of the country’s high amount of sunlight. Our solar panels are particularly well liked as they deliver the most electricity with the smallest carbon footprint of any silicon-based panel.”
