Ikea’s strategy for a trade has come up with the commercialization of solar panels. A product that comes from the hand of Contigo Energía and that reduces the monthly consumption of electricity in the home by up to 50%. Of course, at the moment only, the panels have an obligatory installation in their price, so they cannot be purchased individually.
After being a success in sales in different European countries, they have already landed in Spain where Ikea intends to increase its business portfolio given the country’s weather conditions. In collaboration with the Gesternova Group subsidiary, the multinational home furnishings company thus offers a mandatory installation that must have two-thirds of the Neighborhood Council for its approval.
In addition, in the standard version or Plus version, the two plans are adapted to the conditions and type of home, with options for small, medium and large homes. A system with which Ikea offers a guarantee of 5 years of electricity produced and 10 of components, as well as remarking that depending on the territory where they are installed, they could have tax advantages in the Real Estate Tax (IBI).
How much they cost?
Ikea panels, far from representing significant savings like other company products, are priced similar to those of the rest of the market. Of course, the Swedish chain bases its appeal on the experience it has in the sector, as well as on the aforementioned installation included with the price to provide “renewable energy at an affordable price that provides savings of 50%”, as stated details the CEO in Spain, Petra Axdorff.
With six different plans, differentiating between the type of home and the standard or plus version, Solstrale panels cost from 4,170 euros (small and standard house) to 7,890 (large house and Plus). Prices that also differ on consumption and thus, for small homes, four 340-watt (W) panels that produce limited consumption go from the aforementioned 4,170 euros to 4,925 euros in the Plus version of 390 W and efficiency growth by up to 10%.
The same effect that occurs in medium and large homes in order to assume, in the former with moderate consumption, 5,088 euros (eight 340 W panels) or 6,179 euros (eight 390 W), while in the latter with significant consumption , 6,633 euros (twelve 340 W panels) or the aforementioned 7,890 euros (twelve 390 W).
Prices that, as already noted, include installation in addition to VAT. As for the installation, Ikea ensures that it takes between one and three months with a design adapted to the ceiling and that it also provides inverters, mounting systems and options for specific cases such as flat ceilings, hybrid inverters or completely black panels.
