IKEA to sell GreenTech solar panels

The flat-packed furniture business has been so good to Ikea that it’s pouring 50m Euros into GreenTech projects that will prioritise the stocking of solar panels and other eco products.

Ikea is following the trend for big businesses to green-up their ideas and putting its money where its corporate mouth is with a huge spend over the next five years. GreenTech is the part of Ikea charged with spending the dosh on green start-ups with the aim of stocking solar panels, water conservation and purification devices and alternative light sources as a priority. We don’t have any timeframe on when they will be available, but given the Swedish firm’s background, this could finally mean realistically priced flat-packed solar panels for all!
