Neighbourhood-level spatial determinants of residential solar photovoltaic adoption in the Netherlands

This paper examines the neighbourhood-level spatial determinants of residential solar photovoltaic (PV) adoption in the Netherlands. We investigate the roles of place-specificities and spatial interaction effects by utilising high-resolution spatial data on 13,205 Dutch neighbourhoods. Unlike other studies, we use impact measures on the basis of a spatial Durbin model to distinguish between direct and indirect effects of the spatial determinants. We find significant neighbourhood-level spatial interaction effects in residential solar PV adoption. Where there is a spatial dependence, household... Mehr ...

This paper examines the neighbourhood-level spatial determinants of residential solar photovoltaic (PV) adoption in the Netherlands. We investigate the roles of place-specificities and spatial interaction effects by utilising high-resolution spatial data on 13,205 Dutch neighbourhoods. Unlike other studies, we use impact measures on the basis of a spatial Durbin model to distinguish between direct and indirect effects of the spatial determinants. We find significant neighbourhood-level spatial interaction effects in residential solar PV adoption. Where there is a spatial dependence, household income, property value, population density, housing type and household type are among the factors that influence residential solar PV adoption.
