This research aims to understand community acceptance of renewable energy technologies and their effects on household power supply in off-grid South African cities.
Conducted a mixed-methods approach combining quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews.
Gathered data from 300 households across five off-grid cities in South Africa.
Utilized regression analysis to determine correlations between acceptance and power supply reliability.
65% of individuals showed willingness to adopt solar energy systems.
Community acceptance positively correlated with a 21% average improvement in household power supply reliability.
Recommended targeted community engagement strategies for successful renewable energy adoption.
