IKEA has connected the 573kW solar array at its West Sacramento store to the Californian electricity grid. The 65,000-square foot rooftop array was installed by Gloria Solar and will generate nearly 800,000 kWh of electricity a year.

The installation is the latest in a burgeoning list of recent solar initiatives by IKEA in the US – it has already fitted systems in Brooklyn, Pittsburgh and Tempe, with more planned on both the east and west coasts.
