Electricity has become the basis of daily life, the economy and society.
Solar power generation enables anyone to receive this vital energy.
The idea of making the world a better place has driven Kyocera to continue pushing ahead from silicon ribbon crystal
to polycrystalline silicon using casting technology.
To ensure the spread of solar power generation, we have developed practical photovoltaic products.
While working to spread the benefits of solar power generation, Kyocera will go on exploring new technology and its applications. |
| At the threshold of new technologies, Kyocera is always at the forefront. |

 d.Blue cell traps more sunlight |
|
|
|
In order to improve efficiency and reduce energy lost by reflection,
Kyocera has used plasma and reactive gas in reactive ion etching (RIE)
to create micron-level roughness on the surface of d.Blue solar batteries.
The pleasing dark blue surface color looks sophisticated on roofs. |

| SAMURAI goes on sale |
|
|
|
| In June 2003, Kyocera launched the Samurai, a solar power generation system for rooftop installation on existing homes. A combination of two thin-profile, compact and lightweight modules, the Samurai combines high performance with elegant design. The solar cells fit like a second roof, to maximize power output according to the shape and area of each surface. |
|
| The industry's first adoption of casting in production |
|
|
|
| Kyocera's polycrystalline silicon solar cells produced using the casting technique are now in use around the world.
Kyocera continues to hone its technological leadership, delivering an unceasing stream of excellent products that benefit both people and the environment. |
