Kyocera has been at work on solar power generating systems for more than 30 years, developing technologies and exploring new markets. Kyocera is focusing its research and development efforts on making solar power more widely available worldwide.
In 1975, Kyocera began developing solar cells using the Edge-defined Film-fed Growth (EFG) process, which involves drawing out a sapphire-substrate ribbon. In 1979, the company succeeded in continuously drawing silicon ribbon, which made it possible to begin mass production.
Kyocera next became aware of using casting techniques to form multicrystalline silicon using casting techniques. Due to its greater productivity, higher conversion rate, and lower cost compared to the EFG method, Kyocera wasted no time in getting research and development underway.
