I LOVE that IKEA will be selling solar panel kits. We\u2019ve changed over nearly our whole house to LED and most of the fixtures and bulbs were purchased at IKEA, early in the market penetration of LED.<\/p>\n

This article has one fault \u2013 it states that \u201cyou can now stock up on solar panel kits to transform your home into an energy-saving showcase.\u201d Please remember, folks, that installing PV does NOTHING to save energy \u2013 it just makes the sources wiser. Save energy first and then add the renewables on-site.<\/p>\n
