Kyocera Solar today announced that its North American manufacturing facilities have surpassed production of 2 million PV solar modules.
Kyocera has been producing modules in North America since 2004 and its solar solutions are used in a variety of applications including residential, commercial and utility-scale projects across the Americas, Australia and select regions worldwide.
Kyocera has been developing power solutions for more than 37 years, setting records in multicrystalline silicon cell efficiency and most recently producing cells with a conversion efficiency level of 17.8%.
Manufacturing facilities in San Diego, California and Tijuana, Mexico produce PV solutions for rural and urban areas, harvesting the sun’s energy to help power everything from remote villages solely reliant on solar power to large sports arenas and utility-scale solar farms.
Twenty-five Kyocera facilities worldwide feature their own on-site solar electric systems, with total generating capacity of 2.7MW — including a 214kW Solar Grove parking lot in San Diego and a 100-kilowatt rooftop system in Tijuana.
The Company’s solar solutions are powering installations at locations in the San Diego/Tijuana region including the San Diego Zoo, the SDG&E Energy Innovation Center, San Diego State University, University of California-San Diego, University of San Diego, Point Loma Nazarene University, San Diego Children’s Museum and the Gloria E. McClellan Senior Center in Vista.
