Abstract: The report shows that there was no disparity between males and females in their attitude to rooftop solar electricity systems (rooftop PV) installations. Government motivation is the key factor that affects householders’ attitudes to rooftop PV. Three other factors—households’ perception, education and environment mentioning—were also crucial for the research model. Meanwhile, six factors had no significant effect on the dependent variables—these consisted of age, gender, rooftop material, level of electricity consumption, income per family member and household innovativeness.
