Solar energy datum readings were taken upon commissioning the systems in August or September 2007 with final solar energy readings taken two years later. These readings were validated via independent sensors which were installed on STHW systems in two properties and this is described in Section 6.
Some energy providers also offer time of use tariffs, which encourage you to use electricity outside of peak hours when electricity is cheaper. If you have a battery and a time of use tariff it allows you to: Store excess solar electricity in the day that you''d have otherwise lost. Use this stored energy to avoid more expensive tariff periods.

Panos and Margelous suggest that a household's ability to efficiently use energy generated from solar PV also plays a role in adoption. Komatsu et al. conducted a study in Bangladesh and found that households with installed batteries are more likely to use solar PV as it can provide the opportunity to store energy for later use. 3.2.7.
Future research should consider the role of new actors functioning as diffusion intermediaries within the context of solar PV. Moreover, the subject of co-adoption is something that should be explored in future. Co-adoption refers to the adoption of one thing fostering the use of associated technologies to gain synergies.
In addition to technical functionality and consumer trust in the technology, the actual generation potential is a significant determinant in consumers' willingness to use solar PV. This potential is directly linked to the amount of solar radiation the PV receives : a higher level of radiation can lead to improved energy production.
We assess solar panel uptake from surveys for Cambodia, Ethiopia, Honduras, Kenya, Liberia, Myanmar, Nepal, Niger, Nigeria, Rwanda, and Zambia. This combination of household surveys is possible due to the commonality of variables across countries.
