CEO
ACCESS INTERVIEW WITH MARK FARBER OF EVERGREEN SOLAR (NasdaqNM:
ESLR) |
 |
Last month we profiled Evergreen Solar,
Inc., in a feature called Here
Comes the Sun (Click
Here). Last
week, Evergreen had breaking technology news (Click
Here) that StockUpTicks brought you as a follow-up.
Today, we have an exclusive interview with the CEO of ESLR, Mark
Farber. We have provided some general information about the company
and a contact menu as well.
Looking for strong industry fundamentals? How about: An
industry that has grown 20% annually for the past 20 years and
30% over the past 5 years. In the past 20 years there has never
been a down year.
Looking for a company within this strong industry? How about,
Evergreen Solar, which grew third quarter revenues
by 264% compared to the third quarter last year. For the first
9 months of this year, revenues have grown 181% over the previous
year. ESLR is trading near cash value and at a deeply discounted
60% of book value. Now those are strong fundamentals.
International business is booming with sales in Germany increasing
fourfold in the quarter. Evergreen has developed strong sales
growth internationally due to several key partnerships and distribution
agreements with leading international companies including Kawasaki
in Japan. Looking forward, the company plans to increase
capacity significantly while lowering its costs. With the market
for solar power currently at around $3 billion, the future looks
bright for this high growth
company.
Evergreen Solar certainly seems to be moving in the right direction.
Evergreen is dedicated to cleaner, more
abundant energy and we think
you'll like what the CEO has to say about ESLR and its position
in the worldwide market of solar power.

Evergreen Solar, Inc. develops, manufactures and markets solar power
products that are capable of providing reliable and environmentally
clean electric power throughout the world. Evergreen Solar was started
in 1994 in a 2,500 square foot laboratory by three founders from
Mobil Solar. Mark Farber, President and CEO, has spent 26 years
in the energy field and was director of marketing at Mobil Solar.
Richard Chleboski, Chief Financial Officer, was the head of strategic

been instrumental in Evergreen's technology development efforts.
The Company primarily sells photovoltaic (PV) modules - the engines

crystalline silicon technology known as String Ribbon. ESLR is
also developing solar roofing tiles and other building-integrated
solar power products that will accelerate the acceptance and penetration
of solar power products in the building industry.
The Company's solar panels will be enhanced by its wrap-around
solar cells, which are currently under development, to provide
simplified interconnection procedures allowing greater range in
solar panel design and a distinctive, attractive appearance for
on-grid solar systems. The Company's current solar panels range
from 47 to 110 watts. The Company's solar panels are certified
to international standards for safety and quality.
