Solar PV adoption for homes (A case of Peshawar, Pakistan)

Predictors, taxonomy of predictors, and correlations of predictors with the decision behaviour of residential solar photovoltaics adoption: A review

“…Attitudes towards financial and technical knowledge were mostly studied in empirical studies by asking households about their beliefs [4,9,18,20,21,36,[39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51]. In modelling approaches, the attitudes of financial aspects are incorporated by adding the individual characteristics to the calculations, such as estimation of payback period [52], deflections [53], types of household [54], risk or uncertainty [55][56][57] and optimism level [58].…”

“…Evaluation of the remaining factors was limited to five studies [4,49,57,82,83]. A household can also be persuaded by general attitudes, such as the perceived characteristics of innovation, 7 motives and non-financial benefits.…”

“…A household can also be persuaded by general attitudes, such as the perceived characteristics of innovation, 7 motives and non-financial benefits. In this respect, energy autonomy is a strong driver that can arise from two motives: self-reliance or self-sufficiency [15,42,44,49,53,59,62,79,[85][86][87][88] and desire to be independent of electricity suppliers [36,89,90]. The emergence of BESS in future markets is expected to stimulate this motive further.…”

“…by payback period, suitability (compatibility) of house, affordability, house ownership (privatelyowned, single-family house), remaining in house, available knowledge and household income[4,21,41,52,56,59,72,74,78,92].Perceived risk stems from the trust and uncertainty of the consumer. Uncertainty covers financial aspects, technical aspects and the consequences of the decision[11,12,15,16,44,49,52,56,72,73,85,[93][94][95][96][97][98][99], whereas trust mainly deals with the susceptibility of the consumer to information channels[4,11,14,18,27,40,41,50,64,65,68,69,93,97,[99][100][101].…”

“…The individual type involves all the inner motives, feelings, beliefs, and values that represent perceptions towards the financial and technical features of BESS uptake. Conceiving of financial details can be the perception of the affordability, payback period, government supports, and costs and benefits [28]. The personality (e.g., innovativeness level, risk-taker, or risk-averse), perceived risks, and values indicate the other individual factors.…”
