Why EVs? A Comparison of Alternative Fuels to Help Australia Regain Energy Security
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that over 80% of the liquid fuel required to power the 13.8 million passenger vehicles and 4.6 million other service vehicles is derived from foreign sources and there are growing concerns as to whether the reduced energy security and increasing economic cost of this dependence on foreign oil is in the best interests of Australian citizens.
Journal ArticleDOI
Incorporating the user perspective into a proposed model for assessing success of SHS implementations
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated how SHS users approach success of their solar home systems and how these user's views can be integrated in to an existing model of success, and found that success of SHSs from the users' point of view is related to the ability of these systems to reduce the burdens of supplying energy services to homesteads.
New parameters affecting the financial feasibility of grid-connected photovoltaic systems in Western Australia : A discussion
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a financial analysis of the estimated cost and benefits of operating a 1.5 kWp grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) system in Perth, Western Australia.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Solar home system's success analysis
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a framework for assessing the degree of success of solar home systems including a consideration of the key factors that contribute to success, and developed a weighting system for these factors that can influence the success of SHS installations.
