MARLBOROUGH - Evergreen Solar Inc., which makes silicon wafers for solar panels, yesterday introduced a new line of solar panels designed for the global off-grid market.

The new ES-C solar panels, which include 80-, 120-, and 125-watt panels, will be made by Evergreen Solar’s contract manufacturing partner, Jiawei Solarchina Co., using cells supplied by Evergreen Solar.

The panels are suitable for direct 12-, 24-, or 48-volt battery charging in a wide variety of off-grid applications.

The panels provide higher voltages for superior battery charging performance, particularly in hotter climates, the company said.

Shares of the company were unchanged at $1.94.
