Key Growth Drivers and Advantages of Solar Power
  
    
    An Increase in Solar Power Generation Will Reduce Dependence on Fossil
Fuels.Worldwide demand for electricity is expected to nearly double
from 14.3 billion MW hours in 2002 to 25.0 billion MW hours in 2025,
according to the U.S. Department of Energy. Additionally, according to
International Energy Agency 2006 estimates, over 60% of the worlds
electricity is generated from fossil fuels such as coal, natural gas
and oil. The combination of declining finite fossil fuel energy
resources and increasing energy demand is depleting natural resources
as well as driving up electricity costs, underscoring the need for
reliable renewable energy production. Solar power systems are
renewable energy sources that rely on the sun as an energy source and
do not require a fossil fuel supply. As such, they are well positioned
to offer a sustainable long-term alternative means of power
generation.
    
    Environmental Advantages.Solar power is one of the cleanest electric
generation sources, capable of generating electricity without air or
water emissions, noise, vibration, habitat impact or waste generation.
In particular, solar power does not generate greenhouse gases that
contribute to global climate change or other air pollutants, as power
generation based on fossil fuel combustion does, and does not generate
radioactive or other wastes as nuclear power and coal combustion do.
It is anticipated that greenhouse gas regulation in the United States
and internationally will increase the costs and constrain the
development of fossil fuel based electric generation and increase the
attractiveness of solar power as a renewable electricity source.
    
    Flexible Locations.From tiny solar cells powering a hand-held
calculator, to an array of rooftop panels powering an entire home, to
acres of panels on a commercial building roof or field, solar power
products can be deployed in many sizes and configurations and can be
installed almost anywhere in the world. Solar power is among the best
technologies for power generation in urban areas, environmentally
sensitive areas and geographically remote areas in both developing and
developed countries.


    
    Government Incentives.Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain and the United
States presently account for the majority of world market demand for
solar power systems. Government policies in these countries, in the
form of both regulation and incentives, have accelerated the adoption
of solar technologies by businesses and consumers. Typical government
incentives include capital cost rebates, feed-in tariffs, tax credits
and net metering. Internationally, Spain, Portugal, Greece, France,
South Korea and Italy have recently developed new solar support
programs. Other countries, including China, are increasingly adopting
similar incentives. In the United States, the 30% investment tax
credit for solar investment was renewed and made eligible for
conversion into a direct grant by the American Recovery and Investment
Act.


    
    Continued Reliance on Government Support and Incentives.At present,
most renewable energy sources would not be cost-competitive compared
to traditional energy sources without government support. The PV
industry relies on governmental incentives to encourage production and
consumption, especially for on-grid systems. Changes in government
policies could lead to a reduction in incentives and subsidies to the
renewable energy sector, which could in turn seriously hinder the
growth of the PV industry.
    
    Shortage of Silicon Materials.Efficient use of silicon has been
imperative for the growth of the industry due to the limited supply
and increasing cost of silicon raw material experienced until the
recent past. Even if silicon becomes readily available to support
very rapid industry growth, and prices for silicon decline, silicon is
still a dominant component of the cost of a crystalline silicon solar
panel. The reduction of raw materials waste, particularly the waste
associated with sawing silicon by conventional crystalline silicon
wafer production technology, known as kerf loss, is a key factor in
lowering wafer manufacturing costs.
    
    Simplified and Continuous Processing.Reduce reliance on expensive,
multi-step manufacturing processes.
    
    Reduced Manufacturing Capital Costs.Decrease the costs and risks
associated with new plant investments to lower capital costs per unit
of production.
    
    Improved Product Design and Performance.Increase product conversion
efficiency, longevity and ease of use. Conversion efficiency refers to
the fraction of the suns energy converted to electricity.
  
    
    Crystalline Silicon.Crystalline silicon technology was the earliest
practiced solar wafer fabrication technology and continues to be the
dominant technology for the market, accounting for approximately 88%
of solar cell production in 2007, according to Solarbuzz. Conventional
crystalline silicon technology involves sawing thin wafers from solid
crystalline silicon blocks. Crystalline silicon products are known for
their reliability, performance and longevity. However, factors such as
high materials waste from sawing, complex processing procedures and
high capital costs have limited the speed at which conventional
crystalline silicon wafer manufacturers can reduce manufacturing
costs.
    
    Thin Films.While most major solar power manufacturers currently rely
on crystalline silicon technology for their solar cell production,
these manufacturers, and other new entrants, are also developing
alternative thin film technologies to achieve lower manufacturing
costs. Thin film technology involves depositing several thin layers of
complex materials such as CIGS or CdTe on a substrate, such as glass,
to make a solar cell. Although thin film technologies generally use
certain key materials more efficiently than conventional crystalline
silicon manufacturing technology and are not affected by the current
polysilicon supply shortage, such technologies have disadvantages such
as lower conversion efficiency and, in some cases, reduced product
performance and reliability.

 Our Products
  
    
    Wafers.A crystalline silicon wafer is a flat piece of crystalline
silicon that can be processed and assembled into a solar cell. Our
rectangular wafers measure approximately 80 millimeters by 150
millimeters and are approximately 190 microns thick.
    
    Cells.A solar cell is a device made from a silicon wafer that
converts sunlight into electricity by means of a process known as the
PV effect. Each of our solar cells currently produces approximately
1.8 watts of power. As the conversion efficiency of the solar cell
improves, the power of the cell improves as well.
    
    Panels.A solar panel is an assembly of solar cells that have been
electrically interconnected and laminated in a durable and
weather-tight package. The most common solar panels typically range
from 160 to 200 watts per panel while some specialty panels are
smaller or larger. Our solar panels currently produce up to
approximately 210 watts of power.

Our future success depends on our ability to increase our manufacturing capacity through the
development of manufacturing facilities in addition to the completion of our Devens facility, to
establish contract manufacturers, license our technologies or otherwise outsource the manufacturing
of our products. Our inability to  increase our production capacity directly or
successfully outsource the manufacturing of our products will limit our growth potential and impair
our operating results and financial condition.
   
    
    the completion of any facilities will be subject to the risks inherent in the
establishment of a new manufacturing facility, including risks of delays and cost overruns
as a result of a number of factors, many of which may be out of our control, such as delays
in government approvals, burdensome permit conditions and delays in the customization,
delivery, and installation of manufacturing equipment from numerous suppliers; and
    
    we may be required to depend on third parties or strategic partnerships that we
establish in the development and operation of additional production capacity, which may
subject us to risks that such third parties do not fulfill their obligations to us under
our arrangements with them.
  We may be unable to effectively manage the expansion of our operations, and our Sovello joint
venture agreement that governs our relationship with the other Sovello joint venture participants
may limit our ability to expand our manufacturing outside of the United States.

If we are unable to protect our intellectual property adequately, we could lose our competitive
advantage in the solar power market
  
    
    we cannot be certain that our pending United States and foreign patent applications will
result in issued patents or that the claims in our issued patents are or will be
sufficiently broad to prevent others from developing or using technology similar to ours or
in developing, using, manufacturing, marketing or selling products similar to ours;
    
    given the costs of obtaining patent protection, we may choose not to file patent
applications for or not to maintain issued patents for certain innovations that later turn
out to be important, or we may choose not to obtain foreign patent protection at all or to
obtain patent protection in only some of the foreign countries, which later turn out to be
important markets for us;
    
    although we have a number of foreign patents and applications, the laws of some foreign
jurisdictions do not protect intellectual property rights to the same extent as laws in the
United States, and we may encounter difficulties in protecting and defending our rights in
such foreign jurisdictions;
    
    to the extent we license our technology to third parties in foreign countries, we may
encounter difficulties in protecting and defending our intellectual property rights against
such third parties and others;
    
    third parties may design around our patented technologies, and there is no assurance
that our patents and other intellectual property rights will be sufficient to deter
infringement or misappropriation of our intellectual property rights by others;
    
    third parties may seek to challenge or invalidate our patents, which can result in a
narrowing of or invalidating our patents, or rendering our patents unenforceable;
    
    we may have to participate in proceedings such as interference, cancellation, or
opposition, before the United States Patent and Trademark Office, or before foreign patent
and trademark offices, with respect to our patents, patent applications, trademarks or
trademark applications or those of others, and these actions may result in substantial
costs to us as well as a diversion of management attention;
    
    although we are not currently involved in any litigation involving intellectual property
rights, we may need to enforce our intellectual property rights against third parties for
infringement or misappropriation or defend our intellectual property rights through
lawsuits, which can result in significant costs and diversion of management resources, and
we may not be successful in those lawsuits;
    
    we rely on trade secret protections to protect our interests in proprietary know-how and
processes for which patents are difficult to obtain or enforce; however, we may not be able
to protect our trade secrets adequately; and
    
    the contractual provisions on which we rely to protect our trade secrets and proprietary
information, such as our confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements with our employees,
consultants and other third parties, may be breached, and our trade secrets and proprietary
information may be disclosed to competitors, strategic partners and the public, or others
may independently develop technology equivalent to our trade secrets and proprietary
information.
 Our technology and products could infringe intellectual property rights of others, which may
require costly litigation and, if we are not successful, could cause us to pay substantial damages
and disrupt our business.

  possible delays in the completion of our Devens plant, budget overruns or failure to meet expected production levels;
  
  selling less than approximately 90 MW to 110 MW of Devens manufactured product at an average selling price of $2.90 to $3.10 per watt to credit worthy customers;
  
  higher than planned manufacturing costs and failing to achieve expected Devens operating metrics, with any delays in our plan to scale capacity resulting in increased costs that could impair business operations;
  
  further weakening of the Euro against the U.S. dollar, as a substantial portion of the contracted sales are denominated in Euros; and
  
  increased funding requirements for Sovello to complete its third manufacturing facility and achieve its planned manufacturing cost and operating metrics, or to potentially address the loss of any prior or expected government grant funding for Sovello.  
  
  continually monitoring our operating results against expectations and, if required, further restrict operating costs and capital spending if events warrant;
  
  possibly hedging our exposure to fluctuations in the U.S. dollar / Euro exchange rate to limit any adverse exposure, but there can be no assurance that hedges can be put in place at terms acceptable to us or that such hedging activities will be effective; and
  
  negotiating with a number of banks to secure a borrowing base line of credit, without a minimum cash requirement, as is the case with our current line of credit, supported by the expected significant increase in our accounts receivable, inventory and overall working capital.  45

    We did not grant any stock appreciation rights or make any long-term incentive plan payouts
to the Named Executive Officers during Fiscal 2007.(2)
    
    Represents bonuses earned during the fiscal year and paid in the following fiscal year. Mr.
El-Hillows 2007 bonus includes a one time sign-on of $25,000.(3)
    
    Michael El-Hillows 2007 restricted stock grant was based on his commencement of employment
with the Company and was granted on February 12, 2007. Rodolfo Archbolds 2007 restricted
stock grant was based on his commencement of employment with the Company and was granted on
July 30, 2007. Carl Stegerwalds 2007 restricted stock grant was based on his commencement of
employment with the Company and was granted on December 17, 2007.(4)
    
    The stock awards include grants to the Named Executive Officers based on performance for the
year ended December 31, 2006 and 2007. Mr. Feldt received 50,000 and 100,000, respectively,
Mr. El-Hillow received 40,000 shares of restricted common stock for 2007, Mr. Archbold
received 5,000 shares of restricted common stock for 2007 and Dr. Williams received 25,000
and 40,000 shares of restricted common stock, respectively. These restricted shares vest over
four years. The stock option awards are valued using the Black-Scholes method.(5)
    
    Performance-based restricted stock awards were granted to the Named Executive Officers on
February 12, 2007 and February 27, 2006. For fiscal year 2007, Mr. Feldt received 300,000
restricted shares, while Mr. El-Hillow, Mr. Archbold and Dr. Williams each received 100,000
restricted shares. For fiscal year 2006, Mr. Feldt received 300,000 restricted shares, while
Dr. Williams received 100,000 restricted shares. The shares are subject to performance vesting
conditions. The shares for fiscal 2007 will vest only upon the achievement of all of the
following accomplishments within a calendar year by December 31, 2011: (a) $400 million in
revenue, (b) 35% gross margin and (c) 10% net income, as adjusted by the plan. The shares for
fiscal 2006 will vest only upon the achievement of all of the following accomplishments within
a calendar year by December 31, 2010: (a) $300 million in revenue, (b) 35% gross margin and
(c) 7% net income, as adjusted by the plan. All amounts will include the Companys pro rata
share of any joint venture operating results. At the present time the Company believes that
it is unlikely that the performance criteria for these performance-based stock awards will be
achieved and, accordingly, does not expect such shares to vest.(6)
    
    Mr. El-Hillow received $27,157 and $56,610 during fiscal 2007 and 2008, respectively, for
relocation fees as part of his commencement of employment with the company. No Named
Executive Officers received any other perquisites or other personal benefits in excess of
$10,000 during fiscal 2008, 2007 or 2006. The compensation described in this table does not
include medical, group life insurance and other benefits received by the Named Executive
Officers which are available generally to all of our salaried employees.(7)
    
    Amounts for Messrs. El-Hillow (2007 and 2008), Archbold (2007 and 2008) and Williams (2008)
include matching contributions to the 401(k) plan account of the Named Executive Officer. 62

    Represents performance-based restricted stock awards under the 2000 Plan granted on February
27, 2006 and February 12, 2007. The shares are subject to performance vesting conditions.
The shares for fiscal 2006 will vest only upon the achievement of all of the following
accomplishments within a calendar year by December 31, 2010: (a) $300 million in revenue, (b)
35% gross margin and (c) 7% net income, as adjusted by the plan. The shares for fiscal 2007
will vest only upon the achievement of all of the following accomplishments within a calendar
year by December 31, 2011: (a) $400 million in revenue, (b) 35% gross margin and (c) 10% net
income, as adjusted by the plan. All amounts will include the Companys pro rata share of any
joint venture operating results. At the present time the Company believes that it is unlikely
that the performance criteria for these performance-based stock awards will be achieved and,
accordingly, does not expect such shares to vest. For purposes of this table, the performance
based awards are valued based upon our closing stock price on December 31, 2008 ($3.19).(2)
    
    These restricted stock grants vest over four years. 64

Transactions with DC Chemical.
 
    
    Polysilicon Supply Agreement  Our April 2007 polysilicon supply agreement with DC
Chemical provides the general terms and conditions pursuant to which DC Chemical will
supply us with specified annual quantities of polysilicon at fixed prices beginning in 2008
and continuing through 2014. In January 2008, we entered into a second supply agreement
with DC Chemical that provides the general terms and conditions pursuant to which DC
Chemical will supply us with specified annual quantities of polysilicon at fixed prices
beginning in 2009 and continuing through 2015. The January 2008 agreement required us to
pay approximately $36.5 million in prepayments during the first year of the agreement.
Under the two supply contracts with DC Chemical, we are obligated to make cash payments to
DC Chemical of approximately $450 million, subject to certain adjustments based on market
related factors.
    
    Stock Purchase Agreement  Concurrently with the April 2007 polysilicon supply
agreement, pursuant to a stock purchase agreement, we sold DC Chemical 3 million shares of
our common stock for $12.07 per share and issued DC Chemical an additional 4.5 million
 shares of transfer restricted common stock and 625 shares of transfer restricted preferred
stock (which subsequently converted into 6.25 million shares of transfer restricted common
stock). The restrictions on the common stock will lapse upon the delivery of 500,000
kilograms of polysilicon to the Company.
    
    Stockholders Agreement  Also concurrently with the April 2007 polysilicon supply
agreement, we entered into a stockholder agreement with DC Chemical which prohibits,
without our consent, certain acquisitions of our common stock by DC Chemical, certain proxy
solicitation activities, as well as DC Chemicals ability to publicly announce or make
certain proposals regarding business combinations involving our company, among other
things. The stockholders agreement also provides DC Chemical with the right to participate
in certain of our future securities offerings in order to maintain its pro rata percentage
ownership of the Company. In addition, the stockholders agreement provides DC Chemical with
certain registration rights, including a requirement that we file a registration statement
covering the restricted stock within 15 days of when transfer restrictions on DC Chemicals
 shares lapse. Finally, the stockholders agreement prohibits, without our consent, DC
Chemical from transferring its shares of Evergreen Solar common stock to any person who,
after the transfer, would have beneficial ownership of 10% or more of the voting power of
the Company. As permitted pursuant to the stockholders agreement, DC Chemical purchased
525,000 shares of our common stock in February 2008 from our underwriters in connection
with a public offering we completed at the public offering price of $9.50 per share.

##### Table of Contents




    
    possible delays in completion of the Devens plant, budget overruns or failure to
meet expected production levels;
    
    selling less than approximately 90 MW to 110 MW of Devens manufactured product at an
average selling price of $2.90 to $3.10 per watt to credit worthy customers;
    
    higher than planned manufacturing costs and failing to achieve expected Devens
operating metrics, with any delays in the Companys plan to scale capacity resulting
in increased costs that could impair business operations;
    
    further weakening of the Euro against the U.S. dollar, as a substantial portion of
the contracted sales are denominated in Euros; and
    
    increased funding requirements for Sovello to complete its third manufacturing
facility and achieve its planned manufacturing cost and operating metrics, or to
potentially address the loss of any prior or expected government grant funding for
Sovello (see Note 5 regarding the Undertaking and how Sovellos failure to meet its
business plan may require the Company to provide additional funding).
  
    
    continually monitoring its operating results against expectations and, if required,
further restrict operating costs and capital spending if events warrant;
    
    possibly hedging the Companys exposure to fluctuations in the U.S. dollar / Euro
exchange rate to limit any adverse exposure, but there can be no assurance that hedges
can be put in place at terms acceptable to us or that such hedging activities will be
effective; and
    
    negotiating with a number of banks to secure a borrowing base line of credit,
without a minimum cash requirement, as is the case with the Companys current line of
credit, supported by the expected significant increase in the Companys accounts
receivable, inventory and overall working capital.
