Individual Household Modeling of Photovoltaic Adoption

An important contribution of our work is to quantitatively The SunShot Initiative (Sunshot 2011) has the goal of reducing assess the impact of peer effects on PV adoption in relationship the total costs for photovoltaic (PV) solar energy systems to other economic and non-economic variables. It has to be "cost-competitive" with other forms of energy. At that long been noted that peer effects play a significant role in cost, PV could be widely adopted and thus allow the United the adoption of new technology. For instance, (Rogers 2003) States (US) increase it's use of clean energy - a goal of the highlights the importance of "opinion leaders" and interpersonal Department of Energy (U.S.
