Individuals trade present for future consumption across a range of economic behaviors, and this tradeoff may differ across socioeconomic groups. To assess these tradeoffs, we estimate a dynamic model of residential solar adoption and system sizing in California using household-level data on...

Sustainability, green innovation and business competitiveness are not opposing concepts, but complementary and synergistic forces contributing to the overall enrichment of companies. As high energy costs can undermine profitability, models for energy self-sufficiency are becoming increasingly...

Malaysia aims to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, addressing climate change by transitioning to low-carbon electricity. With the power sector contributing 36 % of carbon emissions in 2019, solar photovoltaic (PV) is a key solution, given Malaysia's abundant sunshine. While government roadmaps...

This study explores the economic feasibility and long-term potential of rooftop photovoltaic (PV) systems in multi-apartment buildings across the Baltic States (Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia) through 2050. Using stochastic modeling and Monte Carlo simulations, it uniquely evaluates the...

For investors, the decision to install photovoltaic (PV) systems largely depends on whether the investment proves worthwhile. Subsidies play an important role in this context. Currently, the German subsidy programme is based on feed-in tariffs: Property owners are guaranteed a fixed price for 20...

The decarbonisation of EU energy systems is critical to reach climate objectives in 2030 and 2050 as announced in the European Green Deal and, in this context, photovoltaics (PV) is called to have a prominent contribution, according to the REPowerEU plan. In this direction, it is crucial to...
