Kyocera introduces solar energy line
Phoenix Business Journal
Scottsdale-based Kyocera Solar Inc., a supplier of photovoltaic systems, today announced the nationwide availability of a full line of standardized, rooftop-mounted solar energy systems.
The new products, called the Kyocera Solar MyGen, for My Generation, systems, convert sunlight into utility-quality AC power which can be used by a residence or business, or automatically sold back to the electric utility company.
According to the manufacturer, during daylight hours the system's solar modules generate DC electricity, which is converted to AC by an inverter and fed back into the utility grid.
Through this process, the company says, MyGen systems enable the home or business owner to legally "turn the utility meter backward" and significantly lower their electric bill. The user remains fully connected to the utility's power grid for a stable supply of electricity regardless of sunlight conditions.
MyGen systems feature the Kyocera solar electric module, which is UL-listed and carries a 25-year warranty. Twelve complete MyGen systems are now available, ranging from a 400-watt basic system to an 8-kilowatt (kW) system for larger homes. Kyocera initially expects the most popular system to be the MyGen 24, a 2.3kW AC system designed to offset approximately 60 percent to 75 percent of the electrical consumption of the typical single-family residence in California.
