Kyocera's New Lithium-ion Battery for Higher FiT Value

Kyocera will start selling new types of lithium-ion battery system on May 7th.

This new product can make the surplus of electricity by home solar PVs bypass the battery itself. The current directly goes to the grid.

In that case the FiT value of "Solar Panels Only" can be applied, which is 38 JPY (*) per kWh and is 7 yen higher than that with a conventional product.

(*This fiscal year)
