| |  |  |  | | MyGeneration? ? Utility Interactive System | | A growing number of homeowners worldwide are expressing a desire for "clean electricity" and independence from imported oil and gas. As the restructuring of the U.S. electric utility industry accelerates and electric service monopolies open up to competition, many new markets will emerge for value-added, environmentally sustainable solar electric systems and services.
Kyocera designs and builds solar electric power systems that have everything you need to generate your own electricity. Our utility interactive systems are installed on the roofs of thousands of grid-connected buildings. These rooftop systems not only produce electricity for households, but also allow surplus energy to be sold back to the utility.
The MyGen? Grid-tie Photovoltaic (PV) Power System consists of photovoltaic modules, a direct current to alternating current (DC-to-AC) power conversion device, DC wiring and protection, AC wiring and protection, lightning protection, component mounting and mechanical support.
The MyGen? system is designed for use on residential and small commercial buildings of typical construction. Photovoltaic mounting is rafter-secured for structural compliance with most local building codes. MyGen? systems comply with the following regulations:
- 2002 National Electrical Code (NEC-2002)
- IEEE Std 929-2000-Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Recommended Practices for Utility Interface of Photovoltaic (PV) Systems
- UL 1741-Underwriters Laboratories Standard for Safety-Static Inverters and Charge Controllers for Use in Photovoltaic Power Systems
- ICBO 2000-International Building Code.

- Arrays in southern half of US tilted 20 deg, northern half titled 30 deg from horizontal. All facing within 15 degrees of true south.
- Mounting modules at latitude angle will yield a higher annual energy output.
- Estimated MyGen output dependent upon proper installation, commissioning, and operation. overcast weather conditions, shading, heavy dirt, bird droppings or other obstructions on a solar module face will reduce the systems power output until the obstruction is cleared.
