Kyocera Unveils Next Generation Solar Products

Scottsdale, AZ – February 7, 2008 – Kyocera Solar, Inc., a world-leading supplier of environmentally sound solar electric energy solutions, today announced the introduction of the highly anticipated Kyocera KD Modules, a UL listed photovoltaic module line from Kyocera consisting of larger, more powerful modules composed of high efficiency 156mm x 156mm solar cells.

Kyocera is leading the solar industry with the development of the most efficient and cost effective multi-crystalline photovoltaic modules available. The new and improved, Kyocera KD Modules feature higher output per module and maintain the three-bus bar circuitry along with the efficient and stylish dark d.Blue solar cells. Kyocera’s patented manufacturing technique processes multi-crystalline silicon cells in order to produce a surface texture that minimizes reflectance and maximizes output. The new KD Modules are ideal for installation on all types of buildings, from residential to large-scale commercial systems.

The Kyocera KD Modules are an upgrade to the KC200GT, KC175GT, and KC130GT from the Kyocera KC Modules series. All modules in the new Kyocera KD Modules line feature locking connectors, are NEC 2008 compliant, UL listed, and boast superior field performance.

“Our tradition of producing high quality photovoltaic technology is clearly demonstrated with the new KD Modules,” commented Tom Dyer, VP Marketing and Government Relations for Kyocera Solar, Inc. “The launch of this new product line further advances Kyocera’s goal of providing our customers with superior products, excellent service and unmatched value.”

d.Blue Module
Kyocera has perfected its new surface treatment technology and is using it on its entire line of modules named d.Blue, for its dark blue color.

The newly developed treatment method processes multi-crystalline silicon cells in order to produce a surface texture that minimizes surface reflectance and maximizes output. The result is a maximum conversion efficiency of 16 %, one of the highest conversion efficiencies in the polycrystalline module industry.
