The solar industry is heating up in the Valley of the Sun.
Though several leading companies have filed for bankruptcy, others have weathered the storm.
Kyocera Solar and Colnatec are rekindling the way consumers and businesses look at the potential of solar technology.
Kyocera Solar, a branch of the worldwide Kyocera Corp., bases its operating headquarters in Scottsdale.
This company has developed innovations in the solar marketplace and continues to redefine the future of solar implementation.
Cecilia Aguillon, director of marketing and government relations for Kyocera Solar, said the company was the first to create a method to mass produce solar cells nearly 40 years ago.
Kyocera offers the highest efficiency cells for polysilicon technology, Ms. Aguillon said.
