Kyocera next became aware of the formation of polycrystalline silicon using casting techniques.
Due to its greater productivity, higher conversion rates, and lower costs than the EFG method,
no time was wasted in getting research and development underway. |

| World's first mass production using casting technology |
 |
| Using casting equipment of our own design, Kyocera started the mass production of polycrystalline solar cells in 1986.
Polycrystalline silicon solar cells produced using the casting method are now mainstream around the world. |
| Innovative development of products using solar cells |
 |
| Kyocera is determined to find new applications for solar cells
and has made a great effort in developing many new unique photovoltaic products. |
