Solar Energy in Pueblo: PV System Owners’ Perspective
Abstract
This project explored the motivation, challenges, benefits, and overall experiences of PV system owners and how ownership influenced and changed their lives concerning energy use, conservation and efficiency. The pilot phase of this program which was conducted in Pueblo, Colorado helped in understanding the experiences of PV system owners in this area, and will enable future policy designers to incorporate solutions that could improve the experiences with PV systems for future owners. Part of the result of this study is intended to contribute to the discussion of future government programs aiming at increasing the uptake of PV system installations, as well as its influence over the potential to reduce energy consumption at the household level.
