6 FAQs about [Adoption of residential solar power]

How does solar PV affect household adoption?

Qureshi et al. claim that a high level of generation enables households to switch more appliances to using solar PV, consequently increasing the likelihood of adoption. Panos and Margelous suggest that a household's ability to efficiently use energy generated from solar PV also plays a role in adoption.

Should households adopt solar photovoltaic technology?

Can a village adopt a solar power system?

Usually, only about 30% of households can adopt PV. To increase that percentage, the village would need to expand transformer capacity. The costs of that expansion get divided up and paid by later adopters. This raises their construction costs and creates an obstacle to adoption. It is another form of injustice.

Do community-level support and household resources affect photovoltaic adoption?

We find that structural opportunities provided by communities and households’ own resource endowments have an additive effect on adoption. This highlights the need to consider both community-level support and household resources when evaluating photovoltaic adoption and energy justice.

Are residential solar photovoltaics an equitable energy transition?

Residential solar photovoltaics (PV) are important for a rapid decarbonization strategy. To chart an equitable energy transition, researchers have measured inequalities in residential PV adoption and identified factors that drive group disparities. We know little, however, about people’s experiences after installing solar.
