Ikea does know how to produce stuff cheaply and market them with the best publicity.

If Ikea stocks them, solar panels might soon be seen over every house... :)

What happens when the particle board that holds the solar panel comes apart at the corner or you drop that little hex wrench assembly tool into the sofa cushion?

i can't imagine why it has taken them so long, but i'm delighted ikea are getting into the groove here and recognizing the enormous value of point of use renewables.  i hope they work with established, high-quality, eco-friendly companies instead of cheapo-polluters like the Chinese.

It's a small thing, but I'd love to be able to return my collection of wrenches for reuse. I wonder why they don't provide them separately, so that if you have one you don't have to waste another.
