“…Other studies like Islam and Meade (2013) have also acknowledged that intention has a significant influence on innovation adoption. Past studies on solar systems' adoptions and other sustainable technologies have recorded the same significant impact between the two attributes (Michelsen and Madlener, 2012;Warkov and Monnier, 1985). Hence, we hypothesize this attribute as:…”

Rising focus on solar power and better world environment have set ambitious plans in motion on the amount of solar power generation, worldwide, for the coming years. In the interest of socially responsible use of energy, both developed and developing countries are exploring their potential of going green. However, low solar adoption rates are a cause of pressing concern for some of these countries. This study investigates consumer intentions to adopt solar innovations, with particular empirical interest in the adoption of solar equipment by Indian households. We use a cross-sectional field survey approach to gather relevant data from four most populous cities in India. Structural equation modelling and logistic regression are employed to deduce results by analyzing data from 320 respondents. Building on characteristics from diffusion of innovation theory, this study finds that relative advantage and compatibility strongly influence consumer intentions, and such behavioral intentions have a positive and significant effect on the adoption of solar equipment.

“…These findings about pellet heating should be treated as tentative, as they come from only three studies [52,58,59], two of which were conducted by the same research group. More research is needed to reach definitive conclusions in this area.…”

“…As Islam and Meade (2013) put it, the assumption that behavioral intentions are the accurate predictors of potential users' actual behaviors has been acknowledged by several authors. In the past, studies on residential solar technologies (Michelsen, C. C. and Madlener, R., 2011;Warkov and Monnier, 1985) and sustainable technology (Sopha and Klockner, 2011) have regarded behavioral intention as the immediate predictor of adoption. By plain logic, favourable and positive intentions formed towards the use of a product/system are expected to lead towards the actual use/acceptance of that product/system.…”

In the wake of global warming and environmental preservation, all processes and actions are now being directed along the lines of creating a greener environment. Household solar equipments are one such initiative, whereby people around the world are being encouraged to adopt green innovations even within homes. Recent emphasis is particularly along the usage of solar energy for home lighting, heating, and cooking. To achieve increased adoption of these green innovations, it is important to understand the behaviours of various factors that may influence consumers in forming favourable intentions towards such innovations. This article aims to develop a theory-based conceptual framework for examining user adoption of household solar innovations. Attributes from Rogers' diffusion of innovations theory, Tornatzky and Klein's meta-analysis, and Moore and Benbasat's perceived characteristics of innovating theory will be used to design the intended framework for examining the adoption of household solar and other green innovations.
