Solar information user priority study

Description: This report identifies for each solar technology those members or potential members of the solar community who, either currently or in the future, will require solar information. In addition, it rates each user's relative need for information within the next three years. This information will be used as input for subsequent studies that will identify specific user needs information. These studies, in turn, will be the basis for information product and data base development for the Solar Energy … more

Information and the solar consumer

Description: A brief review of the use of solar energy in the US is presented and then the attitude of solar consumer are summarized. Results of research show that information or knowledge of an innovation proceeds at a faster rate than the actual adoption of that innovation. It is noted that until the level of solar knowledge increases to about 30% of the potential end users who have seriously considered the technology and plan to invest in it, adoption of the technology will be limited.

Transfer of information from researcher to consumer: choosing the appropriate media

Description: The adoption of solar technologies in the marketplace will not come about simply because solar energy has many advantages to offer. As with all innovations, it must be sold through a variety of media, not just to the ultimate user but to several target audiences. For many reasons, not the least of which is cost, those seeking to speed the diffusion of the solar innovation must be sure of the objectivity, timeliness, comprehensiveness, and clarity of their messages before commencing the task of … more
