====Solar PV systems====
At the end of September 2013, the company announced that solar panel packages, so-called "residential kits", for houses will be sold at 17 UK stores by mid-2014. The decision followed a successful pilot project at the Lakeside IKEA store, whereby one [[photovoltaic system]] was sold almost every day. The solar [[CIGS panel]]s are manufactured by [[Solibro]], a German-based subsidiary of the Chinese company [[Hanergy]].<ref>{{cite news|title=Ikea to sell solar panels in UK stores |url=https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2013/sep/30/ikea-sell-solar-panels-uk-stores |access-date=1 October 2013 |newspaper=The Guardian |date=30 September 2013 |agency=Reuters |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130930192635/http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2013/sep/30/ikea-sell-solar-panels-uk-stores |archive-date=30 September 2013 }}</ref><ref name="Solar IKEA 2013">{{cite web | url=https://news.yahoo.com/latest-appliance-ikea-solar-power-panels-060800233.html | title=The latest appliance from IKEA: Solar power panels | publisher=The Week Newspaper | date=1 October 2013 | access-date=1 October 2013 | author=Lobello, Carmel | archive-date=4 October 2013 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131004180350/http://news.yahoo.com/latest-appliance-ikea-solar-power-panels-060800233.html | url-status=live }}</ref> By the end of 2014, IKEA began to sell Solibro's solar residential kits in the Netherlands and in Switzerland.<ref>{{cite web |quote=Residential kit for IKEA in the Netherlands and Switzerland |url=http://solibro-solar.com/en/company/about-us/ |title=The Solibro CIGS Technology |work=Solibro GmbH |access-date=20 January 2017 |archive-date=1 April 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170401185551/http://solibro-solar.com/en/company/about-us |url-status=dead }}</ref> In November 2015, IKEA ended its contract with [[Hanergy]] and in April 2016 started working with [[Solarcentury]] to sell solar panels in the United Kingdom.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Stoker|first1=Liam|title=Solarcentury lands IKEA 'Solar Shops' contract|url=http://www.solarpowerportal.co.uk/news/solarcentury_lands_ikea_solar_shops_contract_5239|website=solarpowerportal.co.uk|date=25 April 2016 |access-date=3 May 2016|ref=Solarcentury|archive-date=29 April 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160429160651/http://www.solarpowerportal.co.uk/news/solarcentury_lands_ikea_solar_shops_contract_5239|url-status=live}}</ref> The deal would allow customers to be able to order panels online and at three stores before being expanded to all United Kingdom stores by the end of summer.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.newsweek.com/ikea-starts-selling-solar-panels-uk-stores-452058|title=Ikea to start selling solar panels in U.K. stores|date=25 April 2016|newspaper=Newsweek|access-date=14 November 2016|archive-date=14 November 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161114165158/http://www.newsweek.com/ikea-starts-selling-solar-panels-uk-stores-452058|url-status=live}}</ref>
