| Ikea starts selling residential solar panels in the UK Ikea has started selling solar panels for residential rooftops at its stores in the United Kingdom -- because when you think of Britain, you think of sunny skies. The furniture outfit's move into home solar systems (as opposed to sun-powered lighting) was apparently made attractive due the the drop in cost for solar panels, and Ikea's initial offering will set you back £5,700 (about $9,300). For your money, you get a 3.36 kW system, in-store consultation, installation, maintenance and energy monitoring service. Ikea's got plans to sell solar panels in other locales, but according to Ikea Chief Sustainability Officer Steve Howard, such expansion will done market by market (so don't expect a worldwide rollout). Hey Steve, might we suggest your next store to start selling solar be someplace with more than two weeks of sunshine per year? http://www.engadget.com/2013/09/30/i...&ncid=rss_semi |
