Petersen, H C

Results are presented of a survey on residential solar and energy conservation attitudes and practices. The survey was sent to households in ten Western states and in Pennsylvania. About 18 percent of those in the West and 15 percent of those in Pennsylvania were unaware of the existence of Federal tax credits for solar and conservation expenditures. The percentage who indicated that they were aware and who made a claim on their 1978, 1979, or 1980 income taxes was 15.5 percent in the Western states and 29.3 percent in Pennsylvania. The procedures involved in data collection, data preparation, sample selection, and statistical analysis are reviewed. A copy of the survey questionnaire is included as are reviewer comments.
