本文提供了第一个经验证据分时电价（TOU）和采用节能电器和太阳能电池板之间的相关性。我们使用亚利桑那州凤凰城的家庭级数据，这些数据来自一家大型电力公司对约16，000名客户进行的家电饱和度调查。我们的实证结果表明，峰谷分时消费者与27%的可能性更高，安装太阳能电池板，但不更有可能采用节能空调的基础上的倾向得分匹配和粗精确匹配方法。研究结果强调，政策制定者可以结合联合收割机和太阳能电池板时，实施教育计划或给予财政奖励的消费者。我们的研究结果表明，TOU与2，070 - 10，472美元的税收抵免或退税对太阳能采用的激励措施的类似影响有关。
This paper provides the first empirical evidence on the correlation between TimeOf-Use (TOU) electricity pricing and the adoption of energy efficient appliances and solar panels. We use household-level data in Phoenix, Arizona from an appliance saturation survey of about 16,000 customers conducted by a major electric utility. Our empirical results show that TOU consumers are associated with 27% higher likelihood to install solar panels but not more likely to adopt energy-efficient air conditioning based on the propensity score matching and coarsened exact matching methods. The findings highlight that policy makers could combine TOU and solar panels when implementing educational programs or when giving out financial incentives to consumers. Our results imply that TOU is associated with a similar impact of the incentive offered by $2,070-$10,472 tax credits or rebates on solar adoption.
