Unequal solar photovoltaic performance by race and income partly reflects financing models and installer choices
Nature Energy, Published online: 19 March 2025; doi:10.1038/s41560-025-01743-7Solar photovoltaic systems vary in quality, which may result in energy generation differences. New research investigates these disparities among installed PV systems in Connecticut, noting that choice of installer and financing model contribute to gaps, while differences are notable across neighbourhood income and race.
