KYOCERA provides solar power generating system Republic of Palau’s international airport

The first grid-connected system in the Republic of Palau is comprised of modules from Kyocera. 1,080 Kyocera 210W solar modules have been supplied to a solar power generating system at Palau international airport, installed on top of the shading structures in the parking lot.

The design and implementation of the parking lot solar project was a joint collaboration between Kyocera and Wakachiku Construction, which was realized with funding by the Japanese government’s Official Development Assistance (ODA) to help contribute to the country’s growth.

Due to the high occurrence of typhoons on the island, the rear of the modules have been reinforced with extra support bars for enhanced wind-pressure resistance. The system is expected to produce an annual power output of 250MWh, off-setting roughly 80 tons of CO2 per year.
