Patterns and Value of Co-Adoption of Solar and Related Technologies

closed

This project will conduct two types of field trials to study the combined adoption of solar and other energy technologies, specifically energy efficiency, energy storage, and electric vehicles. A field trial in Alaska will study the connection between energy efficiency audits and solar energy adoption. A field trial in Connecticut will study adoption patterns of residential solar and behind-the-meter energy storage and the effect of this adoption on residential energy use and on the electric grid. The team will also examine whether there is any change when electric vehicles are also present.
