Kyocera and Madison School District Launch Kyocera's 1.6 MW Solar Energy Project

Kyocera (News - Alert) Solar Inc. and Madison School District recently launched a 1.6 MW solar energy project conceived as part of Kyocera’s in-house Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) program.


As kids were preparing for their next school year, both Kyocera and Madison School District collaborated to deliver solar energy to three Phoenix-area schools and as part of that effort, Madison One middle school and Park and Rose Lane elementary schools were furnished with over 6,400 high-efficiency solar panels from Kyocera and the power generated from the solar energy will contribute to over 60 percent of the annual electricity consumption of these schools.

Tim Ham, superintendent of Madison School District, commented, “Fiscal responsibility is one of the goals in the Madison Strategic Plan. One of the ways we’re working towards this goal is by leveraging Bond dollars to implement energy efficiency improvements in our schools, saving over $100,000 in utility costs. We’re not only excited about reducing energy costs even further while providing shade to students through the installation of solar panel structures, we’re also thrilled to be able to partner with a proven, reliable company like Kyocera. We also look forward to the system acting as a renewable energy learning tool for students and teachers.”

Kyocera exclaimed that its solar modules are a reliable, virtually maintenance-free power supply designed to convert sunlight into electricity at the highest possible efficiency. Its advanced cell-processing technology and automated production facilities produce highly efficient multi-crystal photovoltaic modules.

Kyocera asserted that the Madison School District project is one of the many business models that it is planning. The company has over 54 years of expertise and is now a $14 billion global enterprise and will be leveraging its field and financial strengths to power these projects.

The company added that the recently inaugurated milestone with the Madison School District combines its commitments to supporting education, environmental responsibility and the betterment of humankind with its decades of expertise providing reliable, efficient solar energy solutions.
