Solar company Evergreen Solar shakes up management team

24 September 2009

Evergreen Solar, a manufacturer of solar power products, has made executive changes to its line up.

Richard M Feldt, chairman, president and CEO, will take on the executive leadership responsibilities for marketing and sales on an interim basis, replacing Dr Terry Bailey who is leaving the company later this month to take up the position of CEO with a Californian solar company.

Michael El-Hillow, CFO, will also take on additional responsibilities for global operations and administration.

‘We are sorry to see Terry leave the Company, but he has built a strong organization and helped make the Evergreen Solar brand synonymous with quality, reliability and performance, each of which is a cornerstone for meeting customers’ needs,’ said Feldt. ‘At the same time, I am happy that Mike will take on the global operations and administration role. He is ideally suited to help us identify and implement the organizational structure and processes to take advantage of our low cost wafer technology as we expand our organization, particularly in China.’

Evergreen Solar develops, manufactures and markets String Ribbon solar power products using low-cost silicon wafer technology.

The company recently began construction on a solar manufacturing plant with Jiawei Solarchina.
