Project IKEA in Tempe is a giant among the solar PV installations

A huge store of furniture and household goods IKEA are very popular all over the world. The company's product range attracts customers reliability, quality, price and good trade process. Last year, IKEA has started selling individual solar home systems and their components. But even before the company began to install solar panels on the roofs of its stores.

Company Kingspan Energy is implementing a project to transform the roof of the IKEA store in Tempe, New Wales, the largest solar elektrosteklopodemniki Australia. After completion of the work on the roof of the shopping centre will be installed nearly 4,000 solar panels production of the Chinese company Yingli, well-established in the sites in Germany, USA, Japan and other countries.

The process of installing a solar system on the roof is reminiscent of the Assembly of the designer. With the fastener system of production Schletter Pty Ltd. in Tempe, in addition to direct solar panels Yingli, will set the 43 TriPower inverter. It is planned that all work will be completed in mid-September, after which the plant will supply the shopping centre of more than 1 300 000 kWh of energy.

Placing in recent years on the roofs of its huge stores of photoelectric converters, IKEA seek to show their commitment to sustainability and energy independence, but also demonstrates that the introduction of solar power plants makes commercial sense and brings profits.

The contractor Kingspan Energy is known in Australia as a provider of energy engineering solutions for large photovoltaic projects around the world. His latest achievement — the solar power plant on the roof of Jaguar Land Rover in the UK.

Commercial and engineering Manager of Kingspan Energy Cormack gray (Cormac Gray) called the project of IKEA in Tempe "rolls-Royce" of available in Australia solar PV installations. "We got the opportunity to use the best materials available for what we might call iconic PV installation for Australia," said the Manager.

After completion of construction, commissioning covering an area of 8415 square metres of solar installations for IKEA in operation, it will displace more than 1,500 tons of carbon dioxide emissions annually. This is equivalent to reducing the number of cars on the roads of Australia at 306 units every year.
