| dc.description.abstract | The photovoltaic panel is an innovation that exists for some time; still it is not part of our daily lives. For countries like Ghana it should be. Ghana faces an energy scarcity and need to resolve this problem because the energy scarcity will only grow with the increasing living standards and population. Photovoltaic panels can do a perfect job in resolving this problem because of its advantages in comparison with other renewable and non-renewable energy sources. None the less it is important to know how photovoltaic panels can be introduced and adopted by the people in the most efficient way, how we can ensure an efficient diffusion. By understanding the factors that influence the diffusion of solar panels, I can give recommendations to businesses and governmental organisations to enhance this diffusion and to create possibilities to overcome today’s energy crisis in Ghana. This thesis shows that photovoltaic panels can indeed help Ghana with its energy scarcity but we should first overcome the lack of consumer finances, market infrastructure and legislation. Next to that, the government should put more effort in stimulating this innovation. | en_US |
