The Original Form 8-K filed certain information under Items 8.01 and 9.01. The Company is amending the Original Form 8-K to furnish such information under Items 7.01 and 9.01 so that such information shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section. The contents of the Company’s investor presentation filed as an exhibit to the Original Form 8-K have not changed.

Attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 is a set of slides that provide updated information with respect to certain aspects of the business of Evergreen Solar, Inc. (the “Company”). A copy of these slides is also located on the investors section of the Company’s web site, www.evergreensolar.com.

The information in this Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, including the exhibits hereto, shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section.

In addition to the historical information contained within the slide presentation, the subject matter also contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, and other factors that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those currently anticipated in these forward-looking statements. Information concerning factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements is contained in the periodic reports the Company files from time to time with the SEC, including its Amendment No. 3 to the Registration Statement on Form S-4/A (Registration No. 333-171001) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 30, 2010, its Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 2009 and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended October 2, 2010. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and the Company disclaims any obligation to publicly update or revise any such statements to reflect any change in Company expectations, or in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statements may be used, or that may affect the likelihood that actual results will differ from those set forth in the forward-looking statements.
