By continually expanding our expertise into new areas and striving for engineering excellence, Kyocera has developed a wealth of original technologies and created new applications for fine ceramics. In 1975, we implemented a development effort that led to the world's first mass-production technologies for multicrystalline silicon solar cells. In the field of healthcare, our dental implants and orthopedic joint replacement systems improve the quality of life using biocompatible ceramics. Our industrial cutting tools increase manufacturing productivity. And our material technologies provide unique beauty in the form of recrystallized emeralds, rubies and other dazzling gemstones grown from tiny pieces of natural gemstone crystal.

|
 |
|
Multicrystalline silicon solar cells offer excellent energy conversion efficiency. To continuously improve our technology and quality, we at Kyocera operate as a fully integrated manufacturer, managing every phase of the process — from silicon casting to cell production and module assembly. The fact that Kyocera solar modules are used on Toyota Motor Corporation’s award-winning Prius hybrid vehicle is 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. |

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. |
