A health research interdisciplinary approach for energy studies: Confirming substantial rebound effects among solar photovoltaic households in Germany

Ray Galvin et al.

Summary: This study explores interdisciplinary energy research process in the context of rebound effects among German households with photovoltaic panels, which revealed inadvertent rewards for over-consumption by prosumers under Germany's current regulatory and pricing regime, compromising policy goals. The success of the study was attributed to embedding interdisciplinarity in research planning, constant interactions between research teams, respect for disciplinary approaches, well-coordinated leadership of discussions, and the innovative extension of data reanalysis based on insights from discussions.

Energy transition at local level: Analyzing the role of peer effects and socio-economic factors on UK solar photovoltaic deployment

Nazmiye Balta-Ozkan et al.

Summary: Research indicates the presence of spatial differences in solar photovoltaic adoption patterns, with charities serving as a proxy variable to capture social interaction opportunities and peer effects. A geographically weighted regression model reveals significantly more variability in the relationship between PV adoption and socioeconomic factors, showing that charities and self-employment have a positive impact on PV uptake.

Digitalization as a driver of transformative environmental innovation

Siddharth Sareen et al.

Summary: The article argues for the importance of digitalization in environmental change and innovation, proposing three critical elements. Researchers need to focus on the widespread presence of digitalization, study it as a real social phenomenon on the ground, and analyze how it enables coordination across sectors.

Identifying double energy vulnerability: A systematic and narrative review of groups at-risk of energy and transport poverty in the global north

Neil Simcock et al.

Summary: The concept of 'double energy vulnerability' refers to the heightened risk of energy poverty and transport poverty simultaneously. This paper reviews academic literature to identify socio-demographic and spatial factors that contribute to this vulnerability. Findings show that certain groups such as low-income individuals, older people, households with dependents, people with health conditions or disabilities, women, and ethnic minorities are more vulnerable, while urban areas are more at risk for energy poverty and suburban areas for transport poverty, with rural areas showing the greatest vulnerability overlap.

Justice in solar energy development

R. Heffron et al.

Summary: Solar energy development is crucial for achieving national energy and climate targets worldwide, with many countries having untapped potential. From a legal and economic perspective, there are benefits to be explored in solar energy development, including focusing on justice and ensuring investment certainty. Flexibility in market reforms is also important to fully realize the potential of solar energy within the energy system.

Inequitable access to distributed energy resources due to grid infrastructure limits in California

Anna M. Brockway et al.

Summary: The study reveals that grid limitations reduce access to solar photovoltaics for households in California, particularly those in areas with more Black-identifying and disadvantaged populations. Therefore, equity goals should be considered in the design of policies for prioritizing grid upgrades.

Bright as night: Illuminating the antinomies of 'gender positive' solar development

Ryan Stock

Summary: The study reveals that despite claims of gender equality and female empowerment in solar development projects in India, there are serious issues to be addressed. In practice, processes and projects related to gender have not been effectively realized, potentially lacking awareness of gender issues and leading to negative impacts of some social development schemes.
