Kraaijvanger, C.W. (author), Verma, T. (author), Doorn, N. (author), Goncalves, J. E. (author)Over the last decade, solar energy has proven to be a key technology in transitioning to a sustainable energy system. However, current solar energy policies favour affluent households, limiting the participation of disadvantaged households in the energy transition. This leaves disadvantaged households even more vulnerable to increasing energy...journal article 2023
