Advancing Households’ Sustainable Energy through Gender Attitudes towards Rooftop PV Installations: A Case of the Central Highlands, Vietnam

Abstract

The report shows that there was no disparity between males and females in their attitude to rooftop solar electricity systems (rooftop PV) installations. Government motivation is the key factor that affects householders’ attitudes to rooftop PV. Three other factors—households’ perception, education and environment mentioning—were also crucial for the research model. Meanwhile, six factors had no significant effect on the dependent variables—these consisted of age, gender, rooftop material, level of electricity consumption, income per family member and household innovativeness.

Factors affecting consumer purchase intention for buying solar energy products

“…The energy concern variable shows a significant relationship towards purchase intention; this result is correlating with other studies that are related to SEPs in different geographical areas like India, Vietnam and China (Aggarwal et al , 2019a; Aggarwal et al , 2019b; Jirakiattikul et al , 2021; Zhu et al , 2020). Researchers believe that respondents’ concern towards energy is the first step towards sustainable living and environmental protection.…”

“…It has been suggested that customers base their decisions on the information they receive from their social media networks, which they regard as the most dependable source of information (Reyes-Mercado and Rajagopal, 2017); therefore, a sprayand-pray approach will be less effective than creative marketing strategies that target community integration towards SEPs and also by creating positive word-of-mouth for solar technologies through solar champions in their local communities will have a beneficial impact on purchase intent. The energy concern variable shows a significant relationship towards purchase intention; this result is correlating with other studies that are related to SEPs in different geographical areas like India, Vietnam and China (Aggarwal et al, 2019a;Aggarwal et al, 2019b;Jirakiattikul et al, 2021;Zhu et al, 2020). Researchers believe that respondents' concern towards energy is the first step towards sustainable living and environmental protection.…”

“…In the present time, human initiatives are much needed to protect the environment; therefore, widely studied predictors of sustainable consumer behavior is energy concern, which is used in the present study (Aggarwal et al, 2019b;Best and Mayerl, 2013;Jayaraman et al, 2017;Jirakiattikul et al, 202;Urban and Š casný, 2012) to predict individuals' purchase behavior towards SEPs. Energy concern plays an important role and it is significant towards the purchase of eco-friendly products (Pagiaslis and Krontalis, 2014;Zhu et al, 2020), energy-saving products (Kumar et al, 2020a) and in the adoption of solar household system (Aggarwal et al, 2019a;Jayaraman et al, 2017;Jirakiattikul et al, 2021). Therefore, energy concern variable is being evaluated to predict customer purchase intention, which posits the hypothesis:…”

What does Modelling Tells us on the Influence of Certain Weather Parameters on Oil Palm Production in Peninsular Malaysia

“…As a result, this study analysed bivariate correlation to examine the linear relationship and continued to examine the variance inflation factor (VIF) and tolerance to confirm the presence of multicollinearity. The values of tolerance must be less than 5 and tolerance values greater than 0.2 (Jirakiattikul et al, 2021). The multiple linear regression equation is as follow:…”

Tiềm Năng Phát Triển Năng Lượng Mặt Trời Tại Việt Nam

“…Thứ tư, sử dụng điện từ pin năng lượng mặt trời có tác dụng làm giảm khí nhà kính góp phần điều hòa khí hậu. Thân thiện với môi trường, làm giảm tác hại của tia UV lên nhà kính, nguyên lý hoạt động của các thiết bị năng lượng mặt trời không gây bụi, độc hại, tiếng ồn, vô cùng thân thiện với môi trường (Jirakiattikul & Lan, 2021). Để biến tiềm năng năng lượng tái tạo, năng lượng mặt trời của Việt Nam thành hiện thực, bên cạnh các chính sách phù hợp và hiệu quả thì thực hiện chuyển đổi văn hóa môi trường Van Khuc et al, 2021;Q.…”
