EcoNews: Solar panels in IKEA

October 1st, 2013

Good news for customers of IKEA, at least in United Kingdom. The world’s biggest furniture retailer plans to offer solar panel packages at all of its 17 British stores within the next 10 months.

Britain offers special supsidies to encurage the takeup of PV panels, which harness the power of sunlight and transform it into electricity, in an attempt to boost greener energy production and help it meet legally binding targets to cut carbon emissions.

A solar panel owner receives subsidies for generating solar-sourced electricity as well as exporting excess power into the grid. An average semi-detached house with a south-facing roof would earn as much as £770 a year through subsidies and savings on energy bills, an Ikea case study showed.

Lucky Brits!
