Özet

This study investigates the diffusion process of photovoltaic (PV) systems and the role of social interactions that facilitate knowledge diffusion in Türkiye. Policy changes and the diffusion process under different scenarios are examined through a hybrid model that consists of econometric and agent-based modelling. According to the findings, the adoption of PV systems by interacting households has a positive influence on the adoption of these systems by other households. Policies such as reducing payback periods would enhance renewable energy production. Yet, a mandatory transition to PV systems may be necessary to increase the share of renewable energy in total energy.
