The number of households relying on solar PV grows from 25 million today to more than 100 million by 2030 in the Net Zero Emissions by 2050 Scenario (NZE Scenario). At least 190 GW will be installed from 2022 each year and this number will continue to rise due to increased competitiveness of PV and the growing appetite for clean energy sources.
Despite the enormous potential and benefits, the utilization of solar energy at household level is less than desired. A number of studies have highlighted the factors affecting the diffusion of solar photovoltaics for household purposes.
For the pathway modelled in this study, in which the technology improvement rate of HSPV during the past five years was considered, the total installed capacity would increase from 253 GW in 2020 to 1998 GW and 4548 GW in 2030 and 2050, respectively. Fig. 3. Future development trend of solar PV in China.
Panos and Margelous suggest that a household's ability to efficiently use energy generated from solar PV also plays a role in adoption. Komatsu et al. conducted a study in Bangladesh and found that households with installed batteries are more likely to use solar PV as it can provide the opportunity to store energy for later use. 3.2.7.
Author to whom correspondence should be addressed. In recent years, research on the intention to adopt solar photovoltaic technology has yielded rich results. However, controversy still exists regarding the key antecedents of households’ intention to adopt solar photovoltaic technologies.
Qureshi et al. claim that a high level of generation enables households to switch more appliances to using solar PV, consequently increasing the likelihood of adoption. Panos and Margelous suggest that a household's ability to efficiently use energy generated from solar PV also plays a role in adoption.

In situations where the need is evident and obvious – that is, a household needs an alternative form of electricity generation to meet its basic needs – individuals are simply choosing between the options offering the best source for power generation. In these cases, solar PV competes with uninterruptable power supply systems (UPS), oil or natural-gas-based …
The global installed solar capacity over the past ten years and the contributions of the top fourteen countries are depicted in Table 1, Table 2 (IRENA, 2023). Table 1 shows a tremendous increase of approximately 22% in solar energy installed capacity between 2021 and 2022. While China, the US, and Japan are the top three installers, China''s relative contribution …
