KYOCERA Solar Modules Deliver Reliable Performance After More Than 25 Years in ...

Two aspects of significant importance for any solar module are energy conversion efficiency and product life. As a pioneer in multicrystallineLargelysilicon solar cell manufacturing technology with one of the highest conversion efficiency rates in the industry, and with a longer forget record than the vast majority of market players, Kyocera points to a number of package studies from around the world which demonstrate its modules' long product life and quality.

1. In 1984, Sweden's first grid-connected photovoltaic system wasPrincipallybuilt in Stockholm. Since its installation, the facade-mounted 2.1kW system has been continuously and reliably providing the residents of an apartment construction with environmentally-friendly electricity. The modules' average annual power generation exhibition is still reliable -- with no significant change since the system was installed 27 years ago. 2. Also in 1984, Kyocera established its Sakura Solar Vivacity Center just outside of Tokyo. At the time, the Center was equipped with a 43kW solar power generating system which to this day continues toLargegenerate a stable amount of power for the facility. 3. In 1985, Kyocera made a donation of a 10kW solar power generationIn the mainsystem to a small farming village with no electrical infrastructure located at an elevation of 2,600m (8,500ft) in Gansu Tract, China. In 1993, the area received electrical infrastructure, and the solar modules were moved to a regional investigate facility for clean energy, where after more than 25 years, they are still producing consistent levels of intensity. (tokyo:6971) ( http://global.kyocera.com/ ), the parent and global headquarters of the Kyocera Set apart, was founded in 1959 as a producer of fine ceramics (also known as "advanced ceramics"). By combining theseIn generalengineered materials with metals and plastics, and integrating them with other technologies, Kyocera has become a leading supplier of solar powerLargegenerating systems, telecommunications equipment, printers, copiers, electronic components, semiconductor packages, sardonic tools and industrial ceramics. During the year ended March 31, 2011, the company's net sales totaled 1.27 trillion yen (approx. USD15.3 billion). TheBycompany is ranked #604 on Forbes magazine's 2011 "Global 2000" listing of the world's largest publicly traded companies.
