By Greentech Lead America: Kyocera Solar, a supplier of
reliable solar modules and renewable energy, has begun shipments of 34
megawatts of its U.S.-made solar modules for 127MW Arlington Valley Solar
Energy II project in southwestern Arizona.
The 245-watt and 315-watt modules were manufactured in
Kyocera’s San Diego production facility. The Arlington Valley Solar project (AV
Solar) is scheduled to begin operations in late 2013 on approximately 1,160
acres near Arizona’s Hassayampa Substation in Maricopa County.
“Kyocera is delighted to be chosen as a solar energy
partner for this innovative installation, which will provide clean, renewable
energy from the sun to Southern California. Projects like AV Solar demonstrate
the cost-effectiveness and low risk of investing in Kyocera’s multicrystal
silicon solar technology, which has been proven over four decades in thousands
of working applications worldwide,” said Steve Hill, president of Kyocera
Solar.
LS Power Group is the developer of the AV Solar project.
The project will be the company’s largest solar facility to date. Renewable
energy produced by the project will be sold to San Diego
Gas & Electric.
“The long-standing experience and documented
reliability of Kyocera’s high-efficiency modules and its ability to provide a
stable supply in mass-production volumes made the company a clear choice for
this project,” said John King, executive vice president, LS Power.
Kyocera supplies solar modules to Zero Carbon Church in England
Recently, Kyocera supplied solar modules to roughly
900-year-old St. Michael and All Angels Church in Withington, England. The
church will renovate its building using solar energy by utilizing solar power
generating system from Kyocera modules.
