IKEA France & Voltalia unveil a new product: a simple and accessible
self-assembly solar panel solution
Voltalia (Euronext Paris, ISIN code: FR0011995588), an international player
in renewable energies, announces that from September 22[1], IKEA France and
Voltalia will offer a new turnkey solution for solar panels installation
dedicated to private customers. This product opens access to solar energy at
a competitive price, developed with solar experts and gives the best
guarantees.
Support at all stages of the project
The Customer Journey is designed to be as simple as possible to facilitate
the installation of solar panels for private customers who wish to have a
more responsible energy system. After gathering information on IKEA.fr or in
a store, IKEA France customers will have access to a first estimate using an
online simulation tool (installation, support and guarantees) and will then
be supported -from the first technical appointment to the after-sales period
by Voltalia experts to benefit from their own solar rooftop solution.
This solution aims at making solar panels installation easier and more
accessible. It helps contribute to environment preservation and the customer
can divide energy bills by up to two on average thanks to self-consumption
and the resale of electricity production surplus.
Two offers are developed to address different needs and different types of
rooftops:
· SOLSTR?.LE: high-performance solution at an excellent price, SOLSTR?.LE
will fit the strong sun-exposed rooftops, starting at &euro6,990 for 6
panels and &euro7,990 for 9 panels.
· SOLSTR?.LE PLUS: a more flexible solution that will fit a large type of
rooftops with materials to optimize production and self-consumption,
starting at &euro7,990 for 6 panels and &euro8,990 for 9 panels.
Profitable over 7 to 10 years on average, this turnkey solution provides an
affordable price with the best guarantees:
· 5-year after-sales service all included;
· 5-year performance guarantees: if a difference is observed between the
performance announced on the final estimate and the real production, the
difference will be repaid;
· Minimum 10 year-guarantees on the components by the manufacturer (panels
and converter);
· 25-year global performance panels guarantee;
This solution is part of IKEA's "People & Planet Positive" strategy which
aims to create a community of renewable energy producers by 2025 in the 30
countries where the group operates.
In its activities, IKEA France is committed in favour of energy independence
and covers 131% of its needs thanks to its own renewable energy production
(6 wind farms, 52,854 solar panels on 22 unities).
Pierre Deyries, Sustainable development Director at IKEA France comments: "I
am very proud to launch this offer with Voltalia to make renewable energies
more affordable and accessible at home. With this solution and a simplified
customer journey and the solar experts' availability to support the customer
in choosing the right solution, customers can act in favor of the
environment and reduce their energy bill over the long-term. This is a step
further into our sustainable development politics to achieve our goals: it
gives everyone an opportunity to adopt a sustainable lifestyle at home."
Sebastien Clerc, CEO of Voltalia comments: "We are very pleased to start
this partnership which offers IKEA's customers our expertise in the field of
solar electricity production. This partnership is another step highlighting
our commitment in favour of energy transition, and in this case, for the
many".
