Steve Hill, president of Kyocera Solar, stated, “It took more than five years for Kyocera to reach the one million module mark at our North American operations and only two years to double it.”

Kyocera’s first PV modules were produced over three decades ago in Japan with production expanding to Tijuana in 2004 and San Diego in 2010.
