Ikea seeks to assemble its own solar power-generation project

STOCKHOLM: Ikea wants to assemble its own little power plant.

The Swedish flat-pack furniture giant plans to cover every inch of rooftop space at one of its 10 Australian megastores, including purpose-built car parks, with solar panels. Together with big-battery storage and other technology, the operation will not only be energy self-sufficient, but will also be able to feed excess power back to the grid.
