Advanced Clean Energy Technology for a Sustainable Society
Based on our commitment to improving the world through renewable energy, we have been developing, manufacturing, and operating solar power generating systems for half a century, and we have expanded our energy solutions recently to include battery technologies and related products. In the future, we will continue to develop new solutions that protect our global environment and help achieve a carbon-neutral society.
Reducing Environmental Impact with a Solar Power Generation System Requiring No Initial Investment
On-Site PPA*1 Electric Service
We are developing an electrical supply service that provides solar power generation systems with no initial investment. This both reduces the cost of renewable energy and provides surplus power for Kyocera’s neighboring operations*2. We are offering service contracts that install Kyocera’s high-quality, long-lasting solar power systems, and ultimately transfer them to the user at no additional cost after the contract expires, expanding the environmental benefits of renewable energy.

Inkjet Printer for Sustainable Textile Printing
FOREARTH*1
Traditional dyeing and printing*2 processes consume vast amounts of water, particularly during washing stages, leading to significant water pollution concerns. Kyocera’s innovative inkjet textile printer, FOREARTH, is built upon a water-free concept that eliminates water-intensive steps such as pre-treatment, washing, and steaming. By drastically reducing water usage, FOREARTH plays a vital role in minimizing the environmental footprint of the fashion industry and promoting sustainable production practices. *1 “FOREARTH” is a registered trademark or trademark of KYOCERA Corporation in Japan and other countries. *2 Printing here refers to the printing of patterns on fabric.
