Solar Electric

KYOCERA solar modules are a reliable, virtually maintenance-free power supply designed to convert sunlight into electricity at the highest possible efficiency. KYOCERA began researching photovoltaics in 1975 and has installed thousands of systems throughout the world since 1978. These systems are ideal for charging storage batteries to power remote homes, recreational vehicles, boats, telecommunications systems and other consumer and commercial applications.

KYOCERA's advanced cell-processing technology and automated production facilities produce highly efficient multi-crystal photovoltaic modules. To protect the cells from the most severe environmental conditions, they are encapsulated between a tempered glass cover and an EVA pottant with a PVF back sheet. The entire laminate is installed in an anodized aluminum frame for structural strength and ease of installation.

d.Blue Module
KYOCERA has perfected its new surface treatment technology and is introducing it on a new line of solar panels 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 conversion efficiency of over 15 %, one of the highest conversion efficiencies in the polycrystalline module industry. Because Kyocera modules are so efficient less space is required than other solar modules of equal output. This translates to both more wattage per square foot and lower mounting structure cost.

d.Blue is ideal for installation on all types of buildings, from residential to large scale commercial systems. The stylish dark blue cells, combined with black module frames, allow the modules to blend in with the buildings architecture while producing energy at exceptional efficiencies.

The d.Blue modules are currently available in 40 - 130 watt panels. They all feature a junction box, a heavy-duty box-style anodized aluminum frame; and an industry high 25-year power output warranty.
