Kyocera Corp. announced that it is supplying 725 kilowatts of solar modules for the KYOCERA Stadium in The Hague, Netherlands. On January 22, 2013 the signing of a letter of intent in The Hague signaled the start of another major Kyocera solar project in connection with professional sports in Europe -- after the Stade de Suisse in Bern, Switzerland.

The roof of The Hague's soccer stadium is to be equipped with 2,900 high-quality Kyocera solar modules. Furthermore, the company plans of the signatories, namely the city of The Hague, Kyocera Fineceramics GmbH, NV ADO Den Haag soccer club, Croon Elektrotechniek, Oskomera solar power solutions, Rabobank, Steeds and Vrolijk Technical Services, go further than just equipping the stadium roof with solar power: The system allowing CO(2) emissions to be reduced by up to 272 tons a year and providing the equivalent electricity required by around 200 typical homes. That means the project will make a valuable contribution to The Hague's plans to become carbon neutral by 2040.

The stadium is the home of the first-division Dutch soccer team ADO Den Haag and has a capacity of 15,000. In addition to soccer, the stadium is used for field hockey games. The construction work is set to take place this summer, immediately following the Hockey World Cup, which will use the stadium as a venue.
