    Modules

    Kyocera Solar Panel ModulesKyocera solar modules are a reliable, virtually maintenance-free power supply designed to convert sunlight into electricity at the highest possible efficiency. Kyocera began researching photovoltaics in 1975 and has installed thousands of systems throughout the world since 1978. These systems are ideal for charging storage batteries to power remote homes, recreational vehicles, boats, telecommunications systems and other consumer and commercial applications.

    Mounting Structures

    Mounting StructuresThere are many different ways to mount solar modules, each with its own pros and cons. Examples include ground mounts, side-of-pole mounts, top-of-pole mounts, and trackers. Standard mounting structures are manufactured from high-quality anodized aluminum, providing excellent strength, light weight and corrosion resistance.

    Controllers

    Controllers from KyoceraThe main function of a controller or regulator is to fully charge a battery without permitting overcharge or reverse current flow at night. If a solar array is connected to lead-acid batteries with no overcharge protection, battery life will be compromised. Simple controllers contain a relay that opens the charging circuit, terminating the charge at a preset high voltage and, once a preset low voltage is reached, closes the circuit again, allowing charging to continue. More sophisticated controllers utilize pulse-width modulation (PWM) or maximum power-point tracking (MPPT) to assure the battery is being fully charged in the most efficient manner.

    BatteriesBatteries

    Batteries are a key component in a grid-tie with backup or a standalone renewable energy system — one that all other components rely on. With simple monthly and quarterly maintenance procedures, your batteries should last a long time. We offer gel, AGM, NiCd, and flooded lead-acid batteries.

    Inverters

    InvertersSome PV systems are designed to run DC loads exclusively and there is no need for an inverter, however, an inverter is necessary in any PV system in which you want to run AC applications and tools, or if you are intending to interface your PV system with the utility.
