Providing solar modules worldwide will have a favorable impact on the global environment. It’s just one of the ways Kyocera products are contributing to the world we live in.



	Applied ceramic technologies offer diverse benefits in a wide range of fields, including environmental protection, healthcare, manufacturing and even fashion.

Kyocera has expanded the use of fine ceramics in industrial applications around the world, and has advanced its technology to develop new products for many emerging markets. After starting development work in 1975, we were the first company in the world to establish mass production technology for multicrystalline silicon solar cells. We have also developed storage batteries to more effectively use energy. In the medical field, we support health and wellness by offering dental implants and orthopedic joint replacement systems. Kyocera’s applied ceramic technology is at work in products ranging from jewelry, which beautifies everyday life, to industrial cutting tools, which enhance manufacturing productivity.

Residential Solar Power Generating Systems

By combining solar modules of varying size and shape it is possible to install systems on small or irregularly shaped roofs — achieving aesthetic harmony and increasing overall power output.

Industrial Solar Transportation Infrastructure (Japan)

A solar power generating system of approximately 2MW was installed on the Nagoya-Daini-Kanjo Expressway using anti-glare modules, which disperse reflected sunlight. These modules are often used for transportation infrastructue near expressways and airports.

Industrial Solar School Facilities(Japan)

Under Japan’s “School New Deal” initiative, Kyocera’s solar power generating systems were installed at more than 1,200 schools across the country — more than any other solar module manufacturer.

This Swiss soccer stadium features a 1.3MW Kyocera solar power system. Many renowned sports facilities worldwide generate clean energy using Kyocera’s solar modules.

Industrial Solar Large-Scale Solar Power Plant(Spain)

The Dulcinea Solar Plant in Spain is equipped with approximately 140,000 Kyocera solar modules. Its 28.8MW capacity is capable of powering approximately 12,000 local homes*.

*Based on local measurement standards.


	Large-Scale Solar Power Plants Around the World

	This large-scale solar power generating system, with a total output of 6 megawatts (MW), is currently operating in the Thai region of Korat. Plans are proceeding to construct similar systems totaling 204MW at 34 locations throughout Thailand.

Kyocera solar modules are used on Toyota Motor Corporation’s award-winning Prius hybrid vehicle — one indication of our modules’ outstanding reliability and potential for broad application.

	Kyocera’s solar modules are the first in the world to be certified in the Long-term Sequential Test — a rigorous solar module performance and quality evaluation conducted by TÜV Rheinland (Germany), one of the world’s leading third-party certification bodies.


	Lithium-Ion Power Storage Connects with Solar Power Generating Systems

	When long-lasting, high-capacity lithium-ion battery storage units are used in conjunction with solar power generating systems, they can help provide a more stable supply of electricity, and can also act as an emergency power source during power outages, such as those caused by natural disasters.

Cutting Tools

Cutting tools are essential to the field of metal processing. Kyocera supports the industry with unique cutting tools based on advances in cemented carbides, cermet materials and coating technologies.

	Industrial Precision Blades

	Industrial precision blades made from ceramics and cemented carbides are used to process a wide variety of materials, including liquid crystal films, automotive tires and specialized textiles.


	Printed Circuit Board Micro Drills

	Micro drills with diameters smaller than a human hair help produce compact, high-density substrates for mobile phones and semiconductor packages.

Orthopedic Joint and Bone Replacement Systems

Kyocera creates orthopedic joint replacement systems by integrating the most advanced ceramic and metal technologies. Our Aquala^® technology was the first in the world to combine a biocompatible polymer with the joint material. We continually work to further enhance the durability of orthopedic joint systems.

Using unique ceramic crystallization technologies, Kyocera creates gemstones that consist of the same elements as their natural counterparts, marketed under jewelry brands such as CRESCENT VERT.


Decorative Materials: Synthetic Opals

Kyocera’s synthetic opal material — called “Kyoto Opal” in the Japanese market — uses proprietary gemstone synthesis technology for a quartz-grain structure identical to naturally occurring opal. It is used as a decorative material in various applications.

Ceramic Knives

Kyocera’s ceramic kitchen knives enjoy an excellent reputation — their lightweight, wear-resistant blades hold a razor-like edge longer than metal blades, and never rust.
