Project summary

Renewable energy may have smaller environmental benefits than expected because reductions in carbon emissions may be offset by increased consumption. This research seeks to understand consumers' motivations for, and barriers to, installing rooftop solar and/battery storage and to model the factors that drive and mitigate the solar rebound effect.
