[center]Planting the “SEEDS” of Solar Technology in the Home
[/center]
Data-rich predictive models help determine which consumers buy
solar equipment and why.
Mike Janes, Sandia National Laboratories
May 20, 2014 | 1 Comment
In an effort to better understand what persuades people to buy
photovoltaic (PV) systems for their homes, researchers at Sandia
National Laboratories are gathering data on consumer motivations
that can feed sophisticated computer models and thus lead to
greater use of solar energy.
A primary goal of the project is to help increase the nation’s
share of solar energy in the electricity market from its current
share of less than .05 percent to at least 14 percent by 2030.
This is the second year of a three-year effort.
“If we can develop effective and accurate predictive models, we
can help identify policy variables that could increase purchases
of residential PV systems and ultimately help advance the
mission of the SunShot Initiative,” said Kiran Lakkaraju,
Sandia’s project lead. Specifically, he said, an effective model
of solar purchase dynamics can be used to predict and even
influence consumer purchasing decisions.
Sandia National Laboratories researcher Kiran Lakkaraju leads a
modeling project that supports the goals of the Department of
Energy’s SunShot Initiative. The work aims to create a model
that predicts household solar energy system purchases based on
such variables as price, energy savings, environmental concerns
and other factors. Photo by Randy Montoya.
The modeling project, part of the Solar Energy Evolution and
Diffusion Studies(SEEDS) program, is one of many activities in
the Energy Department’s SunShot Initiative, which seeks to make
solar energy cost-competitive with other forms of electricity.
SEEDS projects are designed to investigate methods for
transforming the operations of solar researchers, manufacturers,
developers, installers and policymakers.
The projects will be discussed at a May 22 workshop at the
Department of Energy’s SunShot Grand Challenge Summit. The event
takes place May 19-22 in Anaheim, Calif.
Sandia’s solar energy program includes deep research and
development in areas such as PV systems, concentrating solar
power, grid integration and solar codes and standards.
Computer Models Predict Homeowners’ Likelihood to Buy, Invest in
PV Systems ::)
Sandia’s approach is to collect and analyze large amounts of
data, said Jerry McNeish, manager of the labs’ quantitative
modeling and analysis group. The information has led to two
different models, one that predicts how likely an individual is
to buy a PV system and one that predicts how long that
individual will take to make the investment.
Working with project partners at the National Renewable Energy
Laboratory (NREL) and the California Center for Sustainable
Energy (CCSE), project researchers are conducting surveys of
consumers in San Diego County, including 1,000 respondents who
have bought PV systems and another 1,000 who have not. Data from
the surveys will be studied by Sandia and Vanderbilt University
quantitative modeling experts and fed into modeling tools.
CCSE leads the market characterization of the San Diego regional
solar market, including focus groups, pilot programs and field
testing of messages.
Experiments Analyze Effectiveness of Incentives, Framing of
Messages ::)
Additional data is being collected for the Sandia project via a
field experiment conducted by collaborator The Vote Solar
Initiative, which will analyze how consumers respond to economic
incentives, discounts and even peer effects when friends, family
or co-workers purchase PV systems.
Sandia National Laboratories researcher Joshua Letchford
processes survey data gathered from a sampling of both San Diego
photovoltaic adopters and those who have not yet adopted in that
region. The questions on the surveys were influenced by the
results from the initial predictive models and touch on issues
such as environmental awareness, energy independence and
information about life events. Photo by Randy Montoya.
Another experiment, conducted online by The Wharton School at
the University of Pennsylvania, is exploring how the framing of
messages can influence whether consumers will invest the time to
learn more about installing PV systems. Researchers will examine
how different demographic segments are influenced by messages
and will study the influence of such issues as environmental
awareness, energy independence, information about life events
and how messages are received.
Other predictive variables, including the square footage of
homes, the national unemployment rate and even seemingly
inconsequential factors, such as whether consumers own a
swimming pool, are also part of the models.
Consumer Data Models Will Help Identify Likely Solar Buyers ::)
“We’re essentially creating a model that predicts household
solar energy system purchases based on such variables as price,
energy savings, environmental concerns and other factors,” said
Lakkaraju. “But then we’re also running experiments that feed
results back into the model. We have a cycle where we use the
model to test and generate hypotheses about solar panel
purchases, but then we test these hypotheses through experiments
to improve the model.”
The Sandia-developed models, Lakkaraju said, have already
predicted purchasing behavior 200-500 percent better than
current models. ::)
The team also is investigating novel financing structures that
go beyond straightforward “purchases,” such as third-party
ownership through leasing or power purchasing agreements. These
aren’t strictly purchases yet are seen as key to the industry’s
growth, Lakkaraju said.
The research team will test their modeling tools,
recommendations and draft guidance on using the models in
additional field experiments.

“The significance of this work is that it will help identify
those likely to purchase PV systems and help forecast future
market trends,” said Lakkaraju. “Ultimately, it will help those
in the solar industry to more effectively bring solar energy to
consumers.” ::)

All well and good. But let us never forget that the Federal
Reserve can facilitate the transition to solar energy simply by
providing the same (or a percentage point lower as an incentive)
financing capital for carbon neutral home refits and new homes
with solar and other renewable energy technologies. This is a
problem that CAN OBVIOUSLY and SUSTAINABLY be fixed by throwing
money at it.

Of course, we know why the Federal Reserve will CONTINUE to
throw money at the pernicious habits of Wall Street that are
ruining our economy and defending the

/>fossil fuel criminal syndicate both inside an outside of our
government, don't we? It's what predatory, conscience free,
pollute and don't give a hoot Capitalism is all about. >:(
The newly released book, "Let it Shine", brings to light newly
discovered documents suppressed by the Nixon, Carter and Reagan
Administrations, that if known at the time by the public and the
Congress, solar energy would have definitely played a larger
role in the American energy scene during the last fifty years.

/>Agelbert NOTE: Are all the above Cornucopian dreamers? OR, ARE
THEY PRACTICAL, INTELLIGENT, DECENT, HONEST PEOPLE WHO KNEW (as
the ones alive KNOW) THAT WE LIVE IN A PLANET WITH FINITE
RESOURCES AND MUST USE THE ENERGY WE REQUIRE RENEWABLY OR NOT AT
ALL ?

There is no such thing as CHEAP fossil fuels but there IS, AND
CONTINUES TO BE, such a thing as greedballs who want keep energy
SCARCE in order to cash in on it with total disregard for the
biosphere. THAT is what the 🦖 hydrocarbon hellspawn are
all about, NOT about providing cheap energy for civilization as
they 😈mendaciously claim. Kill the STUPID, LYING,
PREDATORY CAPITALIST "fossil fuels are cheap" mantra or let THE
STUPID, WAR LOVING, PROFIT WORSHIPPING ARSE HOLES WHO PUSH IT
KILL THE BIOSPHERE!
CHOOSE OUR FUTURE:

/> Have a nice day [i]ignoring the truth or help stop the fossil
fuel crazies and PASS THIS ON with or without attribution. It's
time we called these ignorant forks on the last century of BS
PRO-Fossil Fuel propaganda, lies and distortions about the
history of human energy use in general and renewable energy use
in particular, the laws of thermodynamics and common sense. The
Social Darwinism based, conscience free, evil, greedball
STUPIDITY called "Game" theory is behind the fossil fueler
twisted Predatory Capitalist "caloric intake is IT" mindset.
Reject it and adopt respect for all life as you respect yourself
or die stupid.
