Research strategies for evaluating the adoption potential of energy technologies. [Examination of three noneconomic models]

OSTI ID:6876864
The completely novel nature of some energy technology innovations sometimes makes prospective economic analysis of adoption potential neither desirable nor feasible. Three noneconomic models evaluating adoption potential are examined for technological innovations whose diffusion potential is not yet known. Applications of the general models are suggested with specific references to development of solar total energy systems.
