Yet this historic growth is only the second-most-remarkable thing about the rise of solar power.

How can smart technology improve the user experience of solar panels?

The integration of smart technologies with solar panels enhances the user experience. Monitoring energy production in real-time, adjusting settings through mobile apps, and optimizing energy usage contribute to a sense of control and empowerment, further influencing positive attitudes toward solar adoption.

Is solar energy a viable energy source?

Solar energy is particularly interesting in this respect as it has the potential to be used at commercial as well as household level; however, to this end, its contribution to global energy supply has remained limited.

Should solar PV companies discuss technical advice?

Zhu et al. argue that an opportunity to discuss solar PV with the companies' experts and seek technical advice positively influences consumer trust in the technology and fosters adoption . Rai et al. and Mah et al. discussed the role of installers and energy companies in this regard.

Are solar panels a good idea?

The sight of solar panels often evokes positive attitudes toward clean energy. The association of solar energy with environmental responsibility and reduced carbon emissions contributes to a positive perception of individuals and communities adopting solar technology.
