“…One could argue that households make a very minimal contri-bution, as most households install small-scale solar energy systems on roofs, which entail quite low installed capacities. However, this kind of installation leverage space cannot be used for other purposes, and, therefore, other useful spaces such as farmland can remain unaffected [25,26].…”

There is a keen interest in renewable energy sources (RES) as a key aspect of reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG). Supporting policies have facilitated citizen investments in renewable energy, as such investments can make a substantial contribution to emissions reduction. The problem, however, is that the factors affecting citizen willingness- to invest in renewable energy are still uncertain and tend to constantly change, highlighting the need to perform studies on the subject more frequently. As citizen investments in RES can contribute to emissions reduction, the aim of this study is to understand the factors that affect the willingness of citizens to invest in renewable energy. Using simple random sampling, a representative sample of 1536 citizens in an EU country was administered structured questionnaires, and the results were analyzed using logistic regression. It was shown that willingness to invest is affected by both financial and non-financial factors, such as citizens’ agreement with the construction of renewable facilities near their residence, information sources for obtaining information about environmental and energy topics, satisfaction with the media’s coverage of renewable investments, and their occupation. Results from this study raise substantial policy implications and may be used to improve the design of strategies for attracting citizen investments.

“…The impacts are limited to +/−2% over the current PV yield (reference timeslice) and may not primarily affect the financial feasibility of the sector.Brasilia and Belo Horizonte are important MRs where solar power rapidly expands due to the large population, the region's abundant solar resources, and reduced seasonal variation. Recent studies indicate that investments in PV power distributed generation (PVDG) have the lowest payback period in Brazil[30]. For both climate scenarios, the SM E projections show a positive trend of PV systems yield in both areas in the upcoming years.…”

The share of solar energy in Brazil's electrical grid has rapidly increased, reducing GHG emissions and diversifying energy sources for greater energy security. This study is the first to combine satellite and reanalysis data to evaluate Taylor's skill of CMIP6 models in replicating spatial and seasonal patterns of surface solar irradiance (SSR) in Brazil. We used an ensemble with the highest-skill CMIP6 models to assess the climate change factor (CCF) on solar energy up to 2100 under SSP2-4.5 and SSP5-8.5 scenarios. For most of the Brazilian territory, CCF evidences a robust signal that the annual average SSR will increase by 2% to 8% from the next decade to 2100. An exception occurs in the South of Brazil, where the annual CCF decreases by around -3%. PV yield is predicted to steadily increase in five metropolitan regions until 2100, highlighting the need for public policies to support PV distributed generation as a suitable resource to replace fossil fuels and meet the growing energy future demand in urban areas.
