“…Earlier research suggested that the role of government initiatives is indeed positive and significantly correlated with PV solar technology adoption intention [91]. The present study results that agree with that as a significant positive relationship is found between government initiatives and PV solar technology usage intention in residences with β = 0.175 (ρ = 0.05).…”

The objective of this research is to identify the antecedents affecting the behavioural intentions of local housing residences in using photovoltaic (PV) solar technology in their houses. An integrated model of behavioural intention to use PV solar technology is tested in this research. This study combined the theory of reason action (TRA), technology acceptance model (TAM), theory of planned behaviour (TPB) and diffusion of innovation (DOI) theory. Additional factors, including cost, awareness, and government initiatives, are also included in this model. The proposed model findings are based on empirical data from a sample of 382 residences in Malaysia. This study postulates that the intent to use PV solar technology is predicted by trialability, compatibility, perceived ease of use, relative advantage, observability, perceived behavioural control, attitude, subjective norms, cost, government initiatives, and level of awareness towards photovoltaic technology. The integrated model achieves 54% variance explained for usage intention of PV solar technology among housing residences in Malaysia. The findings suggest an integrated model for the acceptance intention of PV solar technology, which can assist stakeholders in planning, evaluating, and executing PV solar technology.

“…Model 2 shapes the direction of future energy demand and supply so that it can achieve the transition to more sustainable energy and the legally binding objectives. Systems dynamics (SD) has been widely applied to the energy policy related problems [63,[84][85][86][87] and assessment of environmental impact [88][89][90]. Qudrat-Ullah [63] investigated the modelling and simulation issues in service of energy policy and identified energy policy modelling related issues.…”

Meeting the rising energy demand and limiting its environmental impact are the two intertwined issues faced in the 21st century. Governments in different countries have been engaged in developing regulations and related policies to encourage environment friendly renewable energy generation along with conservation strategies and technological innovations. It is important to develop sustainable energy policies and provide relevant and suitable policy recommendations for end-users. This study presents a review on sustainable energy policy for promotion of renewable energy by introducing the development history of energy policy in five countries, i.e., the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, Denmark and China. A survey of the articles aimed at promoting the development of sustainable energy policies and their modelling is carried out. It is observed that energy-efficiency standard is one of the most popular strategy for building energy saving, which is dynamic and renewed based on the current available technologies. Feed-in-tariff has been widely applied to encourage the application of renewable energy, which is demonstrated successfully in different countries. Building energy performance certification schemes should be enhanced in terms of reliable database system and information transparency to pave the way for future net-zero energy building and smart cities.

“…Previous studies in RET diffusion include PV system adoption in Tennessee's poultry industry (Bazen and Brown, 2009), India (Peter et al, 2006), and the United States and Japan under the lenses of an innovation value-added chain framework (Shum and Watanabe, 2009). In addition, RET diffusion studies based on Bass diffusion include forecasting cross-country PV adoption patterns (Guidolin and Mortarino, 2010), promotion policies for PV and solar waterheater systems in Japan (Yamaguchi et al, 2013), as well as diffusion policy issues in general (Rao and Kishore, 2010).…”
