PROJECT DETAILS

Suntech installed over 1,200 solar panels for IKEA at their distribution centre in Marsden Park. The centre is a key part of IKEA’s operations in Australia, helping IKEA to improve efficiency and lower supply chain costs. The centre runs 24 hours a day and houses nine automatic cranes and an extensive conveyor system, which sorts, shelves, and retrieves over 66,000 pallets each day.

BENEFITS

  • This project provided IKEA with over 552,000 kWh of electricity annually, so IKEA can power their IKEA distribution centre in Marsden Park.
  • The energy saved during this project means that IKEA can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by almost 500 tonnes each year.
