Ikea plans 600 kilowatts of solar on Arizona roof
Ikea is planning two 300-kilowatt solar systems on the roof of its Tempe store, which would be one of the largest installations in the Phoenix area.
The Swedish retailer announced plans Wednesday to have the two systems operational by early fall. Officials would not release information on cost of the system or whether Ikea will own them or use a third-party power-purchase agreement to get the power.
