Parking at the bottom, power generation on the upper floor, and dual-use on one side, the electricity released by the photovoltaic panels provide services for the daily operation of the shopping mall, which can save 3.42 million yuan in electricity bills every year.

In December 2021, IKEA invested 20 million yuan to build a photovoltaic power generation project. State Grid Toray Company opened a green channel for the project and jointly established a 20-person tackling team with the construction unit and design unit. The project started construction at the beginning of this year, and it took only two months to successfully complete the grid-connected power generation. The IKEA Toray store has realized the self-use of clean energy and the grid connection of surplus electricity.
