“…Hal ini banyak dipengaruhi oleh kesadaran masyarakat untuk memanfaatkan energi yang lebih bersih dari energi konvensional terutama yang bersumber dari fosil [6]. Selain karena kesadaran akan lingkungan, perkembangan panel surya juga didukung oleh harga panel surya yang semakin terjangkau [7]. Dengan kondisi tersebut, kini masyarakat baik secara individu, kelompok maupun institusi mulai memanfaatkan PV pada bangunan.…”

Akses energi masih terbatas pada beberapa wilayah dengan kriteria terpencil, tertinggal, terluar (3T). Selain itu keterbatasan juga masih terjadi pada daerah yang dianggap kurang ekonomis bila dibangun sistem atau jaringan listrik. Oleh karena itu, perlu adanya suatu implementasi teknologi panel surya yang mampu meingkatkan perekonomian masyarakat pada daerah yang memiliki keterbatasan tersebut. Tujuan dari penelitian ini ada tiga. Pertama, merancang sebuah purwarupa kios minuman berkonsep container booth yang kebutuhan energinya dipenuhi menggunakan panel surya. Kedua, menganalisis perbandingan konsumsi energi antara sistem listrik arus searah (DC) dan listrik arus bolak-balik (AC) bila digunakan untuk memenuhi kebutuhan container booth. Ketiga, menganalisis potensi pengurangan emisi karbon melalui penggunaan container booth bertenaga surya. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan dengan melakukan analisis kebutuhan energi awal melalui survei pada pengguna container booth yang telah ada. Selanjutnya, dilakukan perancangan sistem dan menguji energi yang dihasilkan oleh panel surya serta energi yang dikonsumsi untuk pengolahan minuman. Dari data pengujian pada masing-masing sistem (DC dan AC) dianalisis total energi yang dihasilkan dan potensi pengurangan emisinya. Sistem AC memiliki efisiensi sebesar 21,11% sedangkan sistem DC memiliki efisiensi sebesar 19,08%. Dari sisi penggunaan baterainya selama 1 hari pemakaian, sistem AC akan mengurangi 12,03% baterai sedangkan sistem DC sebesar 14,34%. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa kios minuman bertenaga surya ini mampu memenuhi kebutuhan energi operasional selama 2 hari dan mampu mengurangi emisi setara dengan 34,82 sampai 58,84 kg CO2. Konsep ini diharapkan dapat menjadi alternatif bagi masyarakat.

“…A similar assumption was observed by other authors when describing the various influencing factors inferred from their research. In [52], authors, with the help of a survey, tried to ascertain Swiss customers' willingness to buy either community solar-associated and building-integrated PV offers or a conventional rooftop solar community offer; as a result, there was no difference in participation rates between those two offers. Their data analysis showed that pro-environmental and pro-social behaviour, age (younger people are more willing to get involved than older people), income (higher incomehigher participation rate) and political attitude (more conservative attitude means lower interest in solar communities) have significant impacts on the willingness to participate in solar communities.…”

“…Two publications used innovative business model approaches aimed to indirectly promote PV communities. The first of them [52] checked if the business model for conventional solar PV could be usable for the further adoption of building-integrated PV. As a result, no difference between these two concepts was observed and authors concluded that solar communities can be a great way to promote building-integrated PV.…”

PV Energy Communities—Challenges and Barriers from a Consumer Perspective: A Literature Review

Renewable energy sources, in particular those based on solar radiation, are growing rapidly and are planned to play an instrumental role in building power systems to reach the 2030 and 2050 energy and climate mitigation objectives. However, new actors have been introduced into the energy field, highlighting the importance of the role of citizens and communities in building such energy systems. To outline the significance of citizens in the development of solar energy communities and to describe the benefits of and barriers to their implementation so far, a comprehensive literature review has been carried out based on 64 thoroughly selected, reliable scientific publications (published within 2015–2021), revealing the latest trends, technologies and research in this field. The research focuses on four consumer interest areas: policy, economic, technical and social, covering the following subsections: policy, trading model, economic assessment, business model, energy management, demand response, modelling tools and consumer adoption. Within each subsection the conducted review seeks to answer the questions related to the further development and implementation of PV energy communities, considering consumer needs and revealing the possible solutions.

“…The summary of the motivation for such investigations is occasioned by the generally low international adoption rates, which are related in broad terms to the cost, technological, and knowledge aspects [55,56]. Some researchers have studied adoption BIPV in Switzerland [57] and their findings reveal that while different types of technologies do not influence adoption, and the concept of community solar as a BIPV application has a positive impact on the residents' Willingness to Buy (WTB). Another study focused on strategies used by adopters of residential solar systems in Finland [58].…”

Sustainability in architecture engages a wide range of considerations in the light of the significant negative impact of buildings on the environment. One aspect of research in this parlance engages the technological and the social dimensions of building innovation, which promote the use of renewable technology as a mitigation strategy. The challenge, however, is that the end-users or building clients do not always have sufficient awareness and information regarding these technologies to guide their decision to accept it. Consequently, the diffusion of said innovations is slow, and the environmental or building problems they were invented to solve persist at the expense of both humanity and the environment. This study, therefore, focuses on a quantitative investigation to ascertain the level of awareness and interest of residents in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) on Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) as an example of renewable energy-based building technology. In this study, 289 residents participated, following the distribution of a questionnaire to demographically distinct individuals. This distinction was used in the analysis to highlight different groups such as, gender, generations, and occupational background of the respondents. The findings of the study show, firstly, that there is a high level of awareness of BIPV in the sample. The study also shows that comparing awareness with each of these demographic variables produced a second layer of findings. For example, the statistical analysis showed that there is no significant difference between the level of awareness and any of the demographic characteristics of the study participants. However, there is a significant statistical difference (p = 0.000) between awareness and interest in BIPV. In concluding this study, recommendations for further research that elaborates other statistical variables and tests, as well as a follow-up qualitative investigation are planned and outlined for future studies. The findings of this investigation may be of benefit to researchers, policy makers, as well as energy companies and marketing agencies within and outside the region.
