摘要: Abstract A currently pertinent research challenge is to find ways keep the growth rate of solar power at a high level. The adoption new technologies, such as building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV), but also and innovative business models community solar, have both been identified relevant drivers. However, BIPV still encountering numerous barriers that hinder its more widespread deployment within PV market. goal this effort was assess whether successful model for conventional could be equally promising in relation further BIPV. For purpose, we conducted an experimental survey (n = 413) compare customers’ willingness buy offer exclusively associated with solely designed rooftop PV. Our results revealed no significant difference between based on our treatment (BIPV vs. PV), indicating can distribution channel As findings about specific are rare, creates important foundation upon which policy makers project developers build.
