Consumer Perception and Willingness to Pay for Solar Energy: A Behavioral Analysis

Year: 2025
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: Transitioning to renewable energy is essential for sustainability and mitigating climate change. This examine examines consumer notion ‎and willingness to pay for solar electricity through a stratified random sampling of 385 respondents. Statistical techniques, together with exploratory information evaluation, correlation analysis, logistic regression, and group comparisons, diagnosed key predictors of sun adoption. ‎Results show that environmental concern is the most powerful motive force (coeff = 0.2348, p = zero.013), followed by the notion of ‎carbon emission discount (coeff = 0.2128, p = 0.028). Surprisingly, government subsidies (p = zero.650) and training stage (p > 0.280) ‎no longer notably affect adoption. Lower-profits companies exhibit better hobby (coeff = 0.5279, p = 0.096), in all likelihood due to subsi-‎dy reliance. Pricing transparency is likewise critical, as receiving a solar fee quote correlates strongly with adoption (r = 0.50). These findings spotlight the need for focus campaigns, monetary accessibility, and obvious pricing strategies to boost solar adoption‎.
