Japanese electronics giant Kyocera has opened two plants making solar-power modules in China and the Czech Republic as it looks to expand production beyond its home country.
One plant with 360MW of capacity is being built in the Czech city of Kadan, bringing total production in the country to 560MW a year. Meanwhile, the company said today in a statement that a plant recently completed in Tianjin has raised Chinese production to 360MW.
President Tetsuo Kuba told reporters that the move edged the company, which has produced roof-mounted solar cells for the Prius, closer to its aim of raising annual global production to 1GW by 2013 from 400MW in 2009.
