IKEA to tap solar for stores | Business Spectator

Furnishing giant IKEA yesterday will roll out a solar panel energy system across its East Coast stores, resulting in the largest commercial installation in Australia.

Collectively, the installation, across seven IKEA buildings, will include over 16,000 panels, with an annual output of 5,495 million kilowatt hours of electricity.

All five stores in Queensland, Victoria and NSW, in addition to two merchandise locations, will welcome the roof solar panel system throughout 2014.
