Kyocera PV Solar panels

Performance, Experience, Quality, Reliability.

Kyocera began researching photovoltaics in 1975 and has installed thousands of systems throughout the world since 1978.

Kyocera's advanced cell-processing technology and automated production facilities produce highly efficient multi-crystal photovoltaic panels. To protect the cells from the most severe environmental conditions, they are encapsulated between a tempered glass cover and an EVA pottant with a PVF back sheet. The entire laminate is installed in an anodized aluminium frame for structural strength and ease of installation.

Proven Performance

It is now over one year since independent testing began at the Desert Knowledge Australia Solar Centre.
This unique site places various panel manufacturers on an even playing field, enabling accurate and unbiased comparison of technology performance.
Kyocera Solar Poly-crystalline modules continue to outperform all our competitors Mono-crystalline and Polycrystalline panels on site, under the harshest Australia environmental conditions.

Note - Kyocera panels are #14 and #6 on the menu. Be sure to Normalise all system outputs when comparing panels ("Normalised Output" button located vertically in faint grey on right hand side of graph).

Proven Reliability

Kyocera recently celebrated the 25th year anniversary of the Sakura Solar Energy Centre. This world renowned facility has been the site of thousands of hours of research into performance and longevity of Kyocera Solar panels systems. The Centre is equipped with a 43kW Kyocera solar power generating system that was installed in 1984. Test results show the proven performance with only 8.6% average degradation. Proven performance of modules manufactured 25 Years ago which have been in real world conditions for more than their Warranted period.

d.Blue Module

Kyocera has perfected its new d.Blue surface treatment technology and has now introduced it across its whole range of panels.

The newly developed treatment method processes multi-crystalline silicon cells in order to produce a surface texture that minimizes surface reflectance and maximizes output. The result is a maximum conversion efficiency of 17.5%. This is the highest conversion efficiency in the polycrystalline module industry.

d.Blue is ideal for installation on all types of buildings, from residential to large scale commercial systems. The stylish dark blue cells blend in easily with the surrounding architecture or environment while producing energy at exceptional efficiencies.

KD Series

These new, safer and more stringent safety qualified panels will roll out over the course of the year featuring heavy-duty anodised aluminium frame with box-style walls. panels in the G series are suitable for high voltage arrays with Multi-Contact output cables for ease of installation typically for Grid connect situations.
