The biggest problem with Kyocera is the price you pay for what you're not getting (watts). There's no way in hell I'd pay MORE for less watts. Right now you can get a 230W panel for $150. And likely to be even cheaper as time goes one. When one fails and the company is gone, $150 or less is cheap. There are Chinese solar companies that will be (have been) around for awhile but personally I could care less. As long as the panel keeps working it's all good.
Right on! Module price is not the biggest expense of solar installation, anymore. The wiring and switching is often more than module price with charge controller sometimes being more, also.
