KYOTO, JAPAN: Kyocera Corp. and Nichicon Corp. announced that the two companies have completed an agreement for Kyocera to begin domestic sales this summer of a new energy management system (EMS) which combines Kyocera's highly reliable solar power generating systems with Nichicon's long-lasting, high-capacity lithium-ion battery storage units.
Designed for the Japan market, the new system responds to the growing demand for residential energy storage equipment following the March 11 disasters. Kyocera will begin sales in Japan this summer.
Through its long-term R&D strategy and proprietary technology in solar and energy-related fields, Kyocera has developed an EMS which makes effective use of energy.
Using and regulating a solar power generating system with battery storage requires a power inverter and sophisticated energy-management technology. The EMS developed by Kyocera is thus effective in optimizing residential energy use from those systems and utility power from the electricity grid.
"This new system combines the two vital themes of power generation and power storage using Kyocera's solar power generating system and Nichicon's energy storage unit," explained Kyocera president, Tetsuo Kuba. "Kyocera will use its energy-management technology to launch this new comprehensive system for optimizing residential energy use, and thus make a real contribution to preventing climate change."
"We'd like to see use of this system — that combines Kyocera's top-class solar power generating systems, Nichicon's energy storage units which hold top domestic share for EV charging systems, and Samsung SDI's lithium-ion batteries which hold the largest global share — sweep the Japanese market," said Nichicon chairman and CEO, Ippei Takeda.
