Kyocera is one of the world’s largest vertically integrated producers and suppliers of solar-powered solutions serving thousands of customers in both developed and emerging regions. Long-term reliability and high quality are of the utmost importance to us. In fact, our solar modules installed in the 1980s have continued to perform after more than 30 years of real-world operation1. And Kyocera is the only solar module manufacturer to have earned the highest rating across all six test categories in GTM Research’s PV Module Reliability Scorecard. Our high quality is derived from Kyocera’s fully integrated manufacturing process from raw materials (silicon casting) to final products (module assembly), which enables us to continuously improve each step of the production cycle. A pioneer in the solar industry, Kyocera was at the forefront in 1975 developing clean, renewable energy using photovoltaic (PV) solar module solutions with the long-term vision of protecting the global environment. As global energy consumption continues to expand, deforestation and desertification have become urgent concerns while many people in remote or rural areas still live with no electricity or modern conveniences. Realizing that solar power could help people in urban and rural areas alike without burdening the environment, Kyocera envisioned solar to be a vital source of future energy. After decades of research, development and mass-production of PV module solutions using multicrystalline silicon solar cells, Kyocera developed solar power generating solutions that have been used worldwide for decades in everything from residential homes in California and commercial installations in Australia to innovative, large-scale floating solar systems on reservoirs in Japan.
