Evergreen will make the solar panels at a recently opened plant in Devens, Mass., and at another factory expected to open in 2010. The deal runs through 2013.
Evergreen said the contract with German-based IBC brings its backlog to almost $3 billion, spread among five customers.
"This contract represents the single largest contract in the history of our company and is one of the largest contracts ever between a panel manufacturer and a distributor," said Richard M. Feldt, Evergreen Solar's chairman, president and chief executive.
