Overview

Discrete choice experiment shows adoption of PV and smart energy linked to financing and subsidies in homeowners.

Key Points

  • Increased adoption of photovoltaic systems is associated with higher availability of smart energy services, highlighting the influence of financial factors.
  • Respondents preferred one-time payments over continuous payments when governmental grants covered either 40% or 10% of investment costs.
  • Assessment of homeowners' decision-making processes indicates relation to value orientations rather than socio-demographic factors.
  • The findings underscore the need for effective financing strategies, as low-interest loans alone may not alleviate high upfront PV deployment costs.
