Origin	U.S.
Model Number	Kyocera 180 watt solar panel, KD180GX-LP

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

With advanced cell-processing technology and automated production facilities Kyocera produces highly efficient multi-crystalline photovoltaic modules.  The cells are encapsulated between a tempered glass cover and an EVA pottant with a PVF back sheet. This is to ensure they are protected from the most severe environmental conditions. Then the whole thing wrapped up in an anodized aluminum frame, providing structural strength and ease of installation.

These modules can be relied upon for a variety of consumer and commercial applications, such as charging storage batteries to power remote homes, recreational vehicles, boats, and telecommunications systems.

Kyocera’s d.Blue Module Technology

Kyocera has perfected its surface treatment technology and is using it on the entire line of Kyocera KD modules named d.Blue, for its dark blue color.

The newly developed surface treatment processes multi-crystalline silicon cells in order to produce a surface texture that minimizes surface reflectance and maximizes output. The result is the very high 16 % conversion efficiency, one of the highest ratings in the polycrystalline module industry.

d.Blue is perfect for installations on all types of buildings, from residential to large scale commercial systems. The stylish dark blue cells, combined with black module frames, allow the KD solar panels to blend in with the buildings' architecture while producing energy at exceptional efficiencies.
