EU court building goes solar

Published Wednesday, 13th May 2009

kyocera-modulesThe European Court of Justice, officially known as the Court of Justice of the European Communities, has installed a photovoltaic (PV) solar energy system composed of Kyocera solar modules on its new building in Luxembourg.

The roof of the new building is lined with 2,262 modules with a total peak capacity of 400 kilowatts, and the system is expected to generate about 900 kilowatt-hours of electricity annually. Installation of the system was completed in December.

Kyocera first began developing solar cells in 1975. The company recently started building a new production facility for solar cells in Shiga Prefecture, Japan, which is expected to increase cell production output from the current 300 megawatts per year to 650 megawatts per year by 2012.
