| description | In recent years, research on the intention to adopt solar photovoltaic technology has yielded rich results. However, controversy still exists regarding the key antecedents of households’ intention to adopt solar photovoltaic technologies. To clarify the critical factors influencing the intention to adopt solar photovoltaic technology and potential moderating variables, this study utilized meta-analysis to perform a quantitative literature analysis on 29 empirical articles. It identified eight key influencing factors and tested the moderating effects of two variables: sample size and research area. The results show that “Attitude” and “Government Incentive” are moderately correlated with the intention to adopt. “Social Influence”, “Product Knowledge”, “Effort Expectancy”, “Perceived Cost-benefit”, “Performance Expectancy”, and “Perceived Behavioral Control” are weakly correlated with the adoption intention. The study also found that using the sample size and research area as moderating variables can partly reveal differences between various studies. Overall, the findings of this study offer theoretical guidance for subsequent in-depth studies and support for the practical promotion of solar photovoltaic technology. |
