Kyocera Japan micro-CHP - Part of larger Expected to be close... 

Kyocera (Japan) is also developing 1 kW SOFCs for residential use and larger units for businesses. 

Tubular SOFC design is also attractive for residential units because of its reliable and stable performance over long periods. Kyocera (Japan) has developed anode-supported flat tubular cells, and these cells are being utilized by several organizations in Japan (Osaka Gas, Tokyo Gas, etc.) to fabricate and test SOFC-based residential CHP systems. The first trial operation of such a 1 kW unit in a residential house was conducted in 2005-2006 for a period of 2000 h the average electric efficiency and hot water heat recovery efficiency were 44.1 % (LHV) and 34 % (LHV), respectively. Over 75 such units, illustrated in Fig. 8, are now installed and operating in homes throughout Japan, and are expected to be commercialized in the next two years.
