京瓷公司在6月3日宣布其在加利福利亚州San Diego的光伏组件厂正式启动，开始进军美国市场。
为什么要在美国生产太阳能电池板，公司向新闻界发表的声明中暗示了几个原因：
一：可以更好地满足美国日益增长的市场需求，SEIA的一份报告显示，去年光伏需求系统增长了38%，预计在未来几年内还会持续增长。
二：可以更方便地满足2009年美国复苏与再投资法案联邦的采购需求。
京瓷总裁 Steve Hill说，京瓷将专注改造闲置空间，甚至停车场和水处理设施，使之成为独立的太阳能发电系统。
京瓷的此次行动是将日本光伏推向世界的重要一步，公司的目标是，到2013年三月，年产量达到1000兆瓦（1000兆瓦的太阳能电池板）
Adding to its PV module manufacturing footprint, Kyocera has officially opened its latest 30MW plant in San Diego, California. The company first set up operations in California in 1971 and was the first Japan-based corporation with manufacturing operations in the State. The modules are intended for the U.S. market. Initial production includes solar modules ranging from 210 watts to the company's latest 235-watt modules.
"We're pleased that our newest production operation is up and running today, according to schedule — a move that will allow us to meet increasing demand for innovative solar products," said Steve Hill, president of Kyocera Solar, Inc. "Kyocera's solar solutions go beyond residential rooftops — we specialize in transforming unused spaces, even parking lots and water-treatment facilities, into self-contained solar-electric generating systems that benefit communities and our planet."
Kyocera also has solar module production facilities in Japan, China, the Czech Republic and Mexico.
