Manufactured in Kyocera’s San Diego production facility, the 245W and 315W modules will become part of the Arlington Valley Solar Energy II project (AV Solar).
Kyocera president Steve Hill said the solar installation will provide clean, renewable energy from the sun to Southern California.
"Projects like AV Solar demonstrate the cost-effectiveness and low risk of investing in Kyocera’s multicrystal silicon solar technology, which has been proven over four decades in thousands of working applications worldwide," Hill said.
The AV Solar project is being developed by LS Power Group on approximately 1,160 acres near Arizona’s Hassayampa Substation in Maricopa County.
Production of the modules will continue through March 2013, and the project is scheduled to commence operations in late 2013.
San Diego Gas & Electric will buy the renewable energy produced by the project.
Kyocera is a vertically integrated producer and supplier of solar photovoltaic modules and systems.
