Environmental pollution and energy shortages are now of global concern. More interest is focusing on photovoltaic (PV) power generation, which can use an unlimited source of clean energy - the sun. Kaneka decided to begin research into thin film silicon PV modules at an early stage. This has allowed the company to assume a leading position in the industry over the past 20 years.
Kaneka's accumulated expertise now makes it possible to offer next-generation energy all over the world through its advanced PV systems that empower individuals to take a proactive environmental role in their daily lives.

Crystalline-Si PV modules lose some power-generating capability with rises in temperatures. But Amorphous-Si PV modules have higher power generation capability during extreme summer time. Amorphous-Si PV modules can deliver maximum performance during summer afternoons. Therefore the amorphous-Si PV systems can contribute during the time when the electricity is needed most for air-conditioners in houses and offices.

*Kaneka Silicon PV's generated watt-power is approximately same as that of other crystalline silicon PVs during the winter months, but in summer the Kaneka Silicon PV generates significantly more power compared to other crystalline silicon PVs.
