A meta-analysis of residential PV adoption: the important role of perceived benefits, intentions and antecedents in solar energy acceptance

Emily Schulte et al.

Summary: The study utilized meta-analytical structural equation modeling to analyze residential PV adoption intention, finding medium to large correlations between environmental concern, novelty seeking, perceived benefits, and subjective norm with the intention to adopt a PV system. Results suggest measures should primarily focus on enhancing the perception of benefits.

Energy justice within, between and beyond European community energy initiatives: A review

Natascha van Bommel et al.

Summary: Recent European policy efforts aim to promote community energy initiatives as part of a just transition towards a low-carbon energy system. However, scholars have not fully utilized the concept of energy justice within the context of community energy initiatives. By analyzing energy justice from different perspectives, such as within, between, and beyond initiatives, a more comprehensive understanding of the impacts of policies on social inequality and the broader implications of community energy development can be achieved.

What is the anti-poverty effect of solar PV poverty alleviation projects? Evidence from rural China

Jing Liu et al.

Summary: China's photovoltaic poverty alleviation projects (PPAPs) have significantly reduced poverty in rural low-income families by improving livelihood capital values, especially in enhancing economic conditions and social capital, while performing poorly in increasing human and natural capital. Differences exist in the anti-poverty effect of PPAPs across different types of solar photovoltaic resource areas.

Adoption rationales and effects of off-grid renewable energy access for African youth: A case study from Tanzania

Nicholas Philip Simpson et al.

Summary: Inclusive energy access remains a challenge globally, with marginalized populations facing difficulty adopting off-grid renewable energy due to upfront costs. This study explores how low-income actors in Tanzania are adopting solar photovoltaic energy through an innovative micro-finance enterprise, with awareness, motivation, and pathways playing key roles in their adoption decisions. The findings suggest a potential model for energy access, highlighting co-benefits of off-grid renewable energy in poverty reduction and climate resilience.

Can authoritarian regimes achieve just energy transition? Evidence from China's solar photovoltaic poverty alleviation initiative

Kevin Lo

Summary: This study challenges the notion of energy injustice in authoritarian regimes, particularly China, by examining the photovoltaic poverty alleviation initiative (PVPA) as an example of a just energy transition. The PVPA in China has successfully achieved justice in both procedural and distributive aspects, ensuring public consultation and positive material impact on poor rural households and village collectives. The findings suggest that top-down politics can drive just energy transitions in authoritarian regimes.
