*Solar Power Generation System at Kyocera Corporation's Head Office
When Kyocera Corporation built its new headquarters in August 1998,a solar power generating system and a cogeneration system were installed to help protect the environment. In order to supply power to the building, 504 ,square meter, solar modules were installed on the rooftop and 1,392 panels on the southern wall, from the third floor up. With a solar module capacity of 214kWh, its estimated annual power generation amounts to 182,860kWh. Converted to oil consumption, this amounts to a reduction of 44,435 liters of oil per year at a thermal power plant. Combustion of this amount of oil to generate energy would release 36.57 tons of carbon dioxide per year. Features Acts as a business application field test for solar power generation in public facilities. Uses polycrystalline solar modules for high-rise buildings Uses a centralized control system (LON system) Uses a distributed installation system Power generation status reported on the Internet The solar power system generating status can be seen real-time on Kyocera Corporation's web site. |
