The warranty extension comes as a result of a successful quality improvement program that was first implemented by Evergreen Solar more than two years ago. The quality improvement initiative incorporates a reliability improvement program designed to address all aspects of our product life cycle by implementing more robust product safety, reliability monitoring and supplier quality management programs.
"In keeping with our brand promise of delivering more electricity with less impact on the environment, our product development team consistently explores ways to improve the end product that Evergreen Solar delivers to its customers," said Peter Rusch, Evergreen Solar's vice president of global sales. "Our products have consistently delivered superior field performance and combined with our enhanced quality improvement program this translates to being able to back our impressive quality record with a much improved product warranty for our customers."
