The website is designed to give the user the experience of visiting a large outdoor solar power exposition with five unique pavilions featuring diverse themes. With appealing and fun visuals and music, visitors can look around the pavilions interacting with various features that introduce the marvel of solar power, the history of KYOCERA's solar power business, and the various environmental activities that KYOCERA is engaged in. Previously only in Japanese, the site is now available in English to help reach a larger audience.
