KYOCERA Solar Modules Tested to Show 8.3% Power Output Degradation After 20 Years in the Field
Kyocera Corporation's solar modules installed in a French village to the east of Lyon recently marked a special anniversary – the modules, which were used for France's first grid-tied solar power generating system, have been producing clean energy for the last 20 years. Furthermore, recent laboratory testing of the pioneering system confirms that Kyocera's solar modules, which were installed in 1992, show only minimal degradation in performance. The 945-watt system, which is installed on a roof in the small village of Lhuis, showed only an 8.3% degradation in performance from its original power output level. The performance of this system is a testament to the extraordinary long-term reliability and performance of Kyocera modules. -
