KYOCERA Introduces Solar Cycle Stations to Recharge Electric Cycles

Kyocera Corporation and its fully owned auxiliary company, Kyocera Communication Systems, declared that they have developed a Solar Cycle Station by deploying high energy producing solar modules to re-charge the electric battery-powered bicycles. The recharge system jointly developed by the two companies is available for the users in Japan from the beginning of this month.

The introduced solar powered stations utilize solar modules to generate power and use it for recharging the batteries of bicycles. The stations are also connected to a regular power grid through a DC-AC converting unit to offer continuous recharging facility during cloudy weather conditions and in the night. The stations are also equipped with normal power facilities to manage during power outage conditions.

A number of people have started using electric powered bicycles to address the growing environmental problems and also there is a growing requirement for them in recreational resorts which demanded the increased deployment of power stations to power the cycles. By introducing the Solar Cycle Stations Kyocera has offered a solution that meets both the economical and ecological requirements.
