Summary
Social learning: the diffusion of residential rooftop photovoltaic panels in Australia. Residential photovoltaic (PV) panels provide a sustainable solution to energy supply helping to address the climate change challenge. This project develops novel methodologies to study the diffusion mechanisms of PV panels. The outcomes will be useful for energy industries and the government for the effective formulation of their business strategies and policies.

This project aims to develop a detailed understanding of the drivers behind the recent rapid rise of photovoltaic (solar) energy products in East Africa through extensive fieldwork research in Kenya and Uganda. This project expects to generate new knowledge on the complex dynamics of renewable energy transitions in Africa. Expected outcomes of this project include the development of theoretical, empirical and policy insights that will inform how sustainable and just energy transitions are able to be realised in energy poverty contexts in the Global South. This should provide benefits, such as helping to inform the actions of governments, aid donors, businesses and organisation working to eliminate energy poverty in Africa.Read moreRead less
