Household installation of solar panels Motives and barriers in a 10 year perspective
This article compares what homeowners identified as motives and barriers for installing photovoltaic panels in Sweden in 2008 2009 and in 2014 2016. Earlier research has provided snapshots of existing barriers and motives, but not analyzed changes over time, as is done here. Between 2008 and 2014, the PV market in Sweden changed profoundly, with the introduction of subsidies and changes in rules, making it easier for households to sell electricity they produce. At the same time, regulations have increased for the households.
