This paper analyses the development and diffusion of technologies that utilise renewable energy sources in Germany, Sweden and the Netherlands. The analysis enlarges the life cycle model of industry evolution to one where the focus is on the formation and evolution of new technological systems. Particular focus is on explaining success and failures in shifting from a formative phase into one characterised by positive feedbacks. A set of challenges is identified for policy makers attempting to influence the process of transforming the energy sector.* This paper provides a synthesis of work undertaken within the framework of the project "Shaping and exploiting technological opportunities -the case of the Swedish capital goods industry"s venture into renewable energy technology". The Swedish Energy Agency kindly financed our work, which was undertaken under the auspices of IMIT. Funding was also received from Gothenburg Energy Ltd. Research Foundation for one of our case studies. The study would have been impossible to undertake without this support and without the time generously given to us by a large number of people in Swedish, German and Dutch firms, research institutes and other organisations. We are also grateful to Jan Finn, Volkmar Lauber, Ole Jess Olsen, Adrian Smith and two anonymous referees for useful comments on an earlier draft.2

A Non-Modeling Exploration of Residential Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Adoption and Non-Adoption

Although U.S. deployment of residential rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) systems has accelerated in recent years, PV is currently installed on less than 1% of single-family homes. Most research on household PV adoption has focused on scaling initial markets and modeling predicted growth, rather than on considering more broadly why, socio-culturally, adoption does or does not occur. Studies that have investigated PV adoption have typically collected data from adopters only or otherwise treated non-adopters as a largely undifferentiated group. Yet, the vast majority of Americans are non-adopters of PV, and not just "pre-adopters." They have widely varying attitudes toward PV, varying levels of consideration, and varying circumstances (Figure ES-1). Understanding their ways of evaluating PV adoption is thus important to understanding future adoption and how it might evolve. In addition, little research has investigated the experiences of households after installing PV. This report helps fill some of these gaps in the existing literature. The results inform a more detailed understanding of residential PV adoption, consideration, and non-adoption, as well as attitudes and experiences with PV overall.The report draws on a diverse set of survey data to examine residential PV adoption and nonadoption, the varieties of adopters and non-adopters, and the roles of policies and marketing in shaping these segments. The survey data were collected from nearly 3,600 single-family, owneroccupied households across four different states: Arizona, California, New Jersey, and New York. We divided the survey respondents into four groups: (1) the general population survey (GPS) "Not Thought" group, which had not considered installing PV, (2) the GPS "Thought Not Bought" group, which had considered installing PV "seriously" but had not installed it, (3) "Considerers," which had previous contact with a solar installer for their home but chose not to proceed with adoption, and (4) the PV Adopter group. Figure ES-1 depicts the group characteristics. Comparing survey results across these groups enables an improved understanding about what influences adoption and non-adoption of residential PV.

“…According to a recently published report, Austria leads the European per capita solar statistics with an installed collector area of approximately 290 m 2 per 1000 inhabitants by the end of 2001 (Fink, 2002). Also considering the annual growth rates, Austria is situated in the first position, with Greece, Denmark, Switzerland, and Germany following (Stryi-Hipp, 2000). By the end of 2001, more than 1.700 000 m 2 of flat plate collector surface were installed in Austria.…”

In this paper we will pose the question whether a higher level of user participation could be used as a strategy to improve the development and dissemination of sustainable energy technologies. We will especially focus on user-led innovation processes with a high involvement of individual end-users.In our argument we will draw on several case studies in the field of renewable energy technologies-in particular solar collectors and biomass heating systems-and sustainable building technologies. Users in these case studies were involved in the design or planning processes, sometimes in a very selective way and with limited influence, sometimes very active and for quite a long period of time. Especially in the case of renewable energy technologies self-building groups were highly successful and resulted in improved and widely disseminated technologies.Based on the empirical results of our case studies we will critically discuss the potential of user involvement (especially in selfbuilding groups) for the development and promotion of sustainable energy technologies and outline technological and social preconditions for the success of such approaches. r
