How Do I Figure Out
What MyGen™Is Needed?
STEP 1
Determine Your Zone
Determine the zone where
you are located based on
the map shown.
SMALL MEDIUM LARGE MEGA
ECONOMY
STEP 2
Analyze Electric Bill
By looking at your monthly
electric bill, identify the
number of kWh (divide kWh
by the number of days on the
bill) used daily. Example is
shown of a standard electric
bill. (500 kWh / 30 = 16.6).
STEP 3
Determine Roof Space
STEP 4
Determine Size of System
Using the zone that you identified in Step 1, the amount of kWh
used daily in Step 2 and the approximate square footage in Step 3,
you can determine the size of the MyGen™System needed for your
home from the chart.
STEP 5
Contact Your Authorized MyGen™Installer
Contact an Authorized Kyocera MyGen™distributor / dealer
/ installer to finish the sizing and choose the size system that
best fits your electrical need, location and roof area.

Determine the approximate size
of your roof space that could
be utilized for solar modules.
A licensed electrican and/
or a licensed solar contractor
will need to do an actual
measurement. Some online tools
such as local county websites
can show an aerial view of the
building and include a measuring
tool to determine square footage.

SOLAR POWER IS THE SMART CHOICE
By avoiding the use of electricity created from fossil or nuclear
fuels, you’ll contribute to the health of the planet. Utilizing solar
energy allows you to keep harmful byproducts out of our air and
water. When you install a MyGen™System on your home, you’ll
be supporting cleaner energy, and you’ll play a major role in
preserving precious natural resources. For example, annual use
of the MyGen™Mega in Arizona will prevent up to 48,000 lbs of
carbon dioxide from being released into the air - the equivalent
of that produced by burning 2,250 gallons of gasoline!
NEUTRALIZE YOUR E LECTR ICAL BI LL
As energy costs continue to sharply increase, it’s no
surprise that thousands of homeowners are choosing
solar power. A solar electric system will help control
costs and it will also increase the resale value of your
home. The MyGen System will produce electricity
efficiently and reliably with virtually no maintenance
making this a smart decision for your home and the
environment.
