Forecasting the Diffusion of innovation for Solar PV Adoption for Community Housing

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

Based on the dissemination of knowledge in social networks within urban communities, this study proposes an agent-based model of innovation diffusion for Renewable Energy Technologies (RET1 ). To model the pace of RET innovation diffusion, the information flow patterns across social media networks including Twitter and home networks are merged. The resulting strategy offers a framework for capturing how RET innovation dissemination in urban neighborhood networks and online social networks may affect household uptake of renewable energy technology. The introduction of solar PV in Qatar serves as an example of how this strategy is applied.
