太阳热能是一种可行的技术，它使用清洁的可再生能源（太阳）为家庭提供主要热源。结构性约束和价值导向的激励因素的结合可能会影响太阳能热技术的采用。本研究通过逻辑回归模型研究了太阳能热利用与结构或价值相关因素的相关程度。衡量社会经济状况、环境问题和生态条件的变量用于预测美国各县级住宅太阳能热技术的采用情况。该项目提供了关于结构和价值相关因素的作用的见解，从而强调了结构和代理在解释社会变革中的重要性。
Solar thermal is a viable technology that uses clean, renewable energy (the sun) to provide a primary heat source in homes. A combination of structural constraints and value-oriented motivators potentially influences solar thermal technology adoption. This study examines the extent to which solar thermal adoption correlates with structural or value-related factors through logistic regression modeling. Variables measuring socioeconomic circumstances, environmental concern, and ecological conditions are used to predict residential solar thermal technology adoption at the county level throughout the United States. This project provides insight regarding the role of structural and value-related factors, thus highlighting the significance of both structure and agency in explaining social change.
