Invest: 18-24c/W JAPAN'S KYOCERA TO QUADRUPLE SOLAR MODULE CAPACITY AT CHINA UNIT Sunday 02/22/2009 9:44 PM ET - Asia Pulse Related Companies Symbol Last %Chg KYO 61.34 0.00% As of 12:00 AM ET 2/20/09 Kyocera Corp. (TSE:6971) announced Friday that it will quadruple production capacity for solar modules at subsidiary Kyocera (Tianjin) Solar Energy Co. to 240,000kw a year in 2011. Modules are made by combining solar cells -- their key component -- and other parts. These modules are connected together to form solar power generation systems. The firm is seen spending an estimated 3-4 billion yen (US$32.19-42.93 million) to put up a new three-story building with 28,800 sq. meters of floor space near its existing plant at the Tianjin unit. Construction will begin in April, with the plant slated to go into operation in the spring of 2010. In addition to new equipment, machinery from three existing buildings will be moved to the facility by September 2010. Kyocera, which produces solar cells at a Shiga Prefecture plant, plans to boost total output to 650,000kw in fiscal 2011 by building a new factory in that prefecture. The decision to lift solar module production in China is in line with this increase in cell output. The firm assembles modules in Mie Prefecture as well as at sites in China, Mexico and the Czech Republic. |
