For all my fellow Ikea fans here, this just one more reason why Ikea is the best shop on earth!!!
Ikea has gone completely solar!!!
On my way out of Ikea yesterday, I spotted this sign and I got very excited as did my sisters :)
The Tempe Ikea has 3 960 solar panels on their roof which, in summer, will power their entire shop! This will avoid 1 519 tonnes of Carbon Dioxide every year. By the time Ikea has finished installing their solar panels they will have installed 16 100 solar panels covering the size of 5 soccer fields!
I think this is an incredible effort. We don't even generate enough for our house with our solar panels and Ikea can power their entire heaven on their own solar power. Can you imagine all the lights in their warehouse? Not to mention hundreds of dsiplay lights that are on all day, the countless cafe's and food stations, heaps of lifts and escalators and all their cash registers!!!
I can not get my head around this amazing achievement and I think that Ikea is setting a perfect example for the rest of the country. They are the first major brand to do this and I hope it will inspire many more shops like it.
