That's what the Cleantech Group is reporting, based on details of a recent €50 million investment into Ikea's GreenTech fund, used to finance research into consumer solar panels, green building materials, alternative light sources, etc. In the same way that Wal-Mart can basically fart one night and wake up the next morning having changed the face of massive globalized retail, Ikea moving to sell presumably affordable solar gear for everyday users could be a big push to the industry. There's a reason why your Ikea is usually next to a shipping port—these Swedes move serious weight.

If Canadian Tire can sell solar panels, then why not Ikea? As long as they have some uber-retro-minimalist flowers or stars on them, I mean.

Unfortunately, you're going to have to assemble them yourself with that fucking little hex-wrench.
