Abstract

Literature has established many social, economic, residential and environmental factors affecting photovoltaics (PV) adoption in developed countries. However in developing countries, only limited research has been conducted on the viability of micro-generation PV as a main stream clean energy source for greening the electricity grid. This study provides an insight into how residential PV adoption operates in a small developing country.
