Applied Ceramic Products

Providing solar cells worldwide should 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.
KYOCERA Mexicana, S.A. de C.V. (Mexico)
KYOCERA Fineceramics GmbH (Germany)
Dongguan Shilong KYOCERA Optics Co., Ltd. (China)

Our applied ceramic technologies offer diverse benefits for a wide range of fields, including environmental preservation, healthcare, manufacturing and even fashion.

Kyocera has developed a wealth of original technologies and created new applications for fine ceramics, including the world's first mass-production technologies for multicrystal silicon solar cells; dental and orthopedic implants; industrial cutting tools that increase manufacturing productivity; and recrystallized emeralds, rubies and other gemstones grown from tiny pieces of natural gemstone crystal.

Solar Power Generating Systems
"d.Blue" Solar Cells

Multicrystal silicon solar cells offer superior energy conversion efficiency. To develop better-performing solar cells and systems, Kyocera employs an integrated manufacturing process that includes casting multicrystal silicon, producing solar cells, assembling modules and supplying fully-engineered power generating systems. Kyocera's "d.Blue" processing technology uses plasma and reactive gas to create a unique microscopic texture on the cell's silicon surface, reducing reflectance and maximizing the amount of sunlight the cell can absorb.

Solar Power Generating Systems
Solar modules transform sunlight into DC electricity that a power conditioner converts into residential AC current. These systems commonly connect to the utility grid to reduce or eliminate the user's electric bill without requiring batteries.
Residential Solar Power Generating Systems

Based on our "Stylish & Powerful" design concept, Kyocera's Building-Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) systems deliver excellent powergenerating capacity while blending in with the appearance of the roof.

Industrial Solar Power Generating Systems
Shiki Arts Center (Japan)

Electricity for the Shiki Theater Company's rehearsal facility is supplied in part by a Kyocera solar power generating system with 1,540 solar panels on the roof.

Industrial Solar Power Generating Systems
Solar Grove™(U.S.A.)

The Solar Grove is a cluster of 25 "Solar Trees" that form a carport at a large-scale manufacturing facility in San Diego. The system produces up to 235 kW of electricity - enough to power 68 typical California homes.

This Swiss soccer stadium features an 850 kW solar power generating system. Kyocera's solar cells generate power at sports facilities in other nations as well.

Photovoltaic power generation system for public and industrial use
Ultra-large-scale photovoltaic power generation facility (Spain)

Planta Solar de Salamanca”, a clean energy power plant constructed on a huge hill measuring 360,000 square meters. This energy station, equipped with approximately 70,000 plates of solar cells with a total capacity of 13.8MW, supplies electricity for around 5,000 households.

Cutting Tools
Cutting Tools "CERATIP"

Cutting tools are essential to the field of metal processing. Kyocera supports the industry with advances in hardened metals, cermet materials and cutting tool coating technologies.

detail
Industrial Precision Knives

Industrial precision knives made from ceramics and hardened metals 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.

Medical and Dental Products
Orthopedic Joint and Bone Replacement Systems

By integrating the most advanced ceramic and metal material technologies, Kyocera produces a full line of widely used orthopedic joint products.

Dental Implants

Kyocera's dental implants, made of surface-treated titanium with excellent biocompatibility, help people overcome both the functional and aesthetic problems of tooth loss while enhancing overall health.

External Link detail
Jewelry

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."

Kitchen Utensils

Kyocera's premium kitchen knives with lightweight ceramic blades hold a razor-like edge longer than metal blades, and never rust.
