Abstract
Nowadays, the usage of the non-renewable energy had been depleting, and forecasters believed that the non-renewable energy such as the fossil fuel will end in a few more decades. Renewable energy such as solar had been adopted rapidly in this era to overcome this problem. Government in Malaysia had declared all kinds of policies to encourage people to adopt solar. However, researcher had found out that most of the people in Malacca state did not adopt solar panel in their home. Therefore, the researcher aimed to study the factor that can affect the solar panel adoption, and also to find out the extent of the factors impact on the solar adoption among the Malacca users. The researcher adopted the five factors (financial factor, environmental factor, technical factor, institutional factor, and social factor) studied by Adachi (2009) and Eronini (2014). Survey is carried out in this research to study the relationship between the five factors and the solar panel adoption by distributing questionnaires. 50 respondents have responded to the questionnaire. The results have been analyzed using Pearson’s Correlation to study the extent of the factors impact on the solar panel adoption, and using Linear Regression Analysis to study the factor that can affect the solar panel adoption. Through the results generated from SPSS, four out of five factors (financial factor, environmental factor, institutional factor, and social factor) have shown significant relationship with the solar panel adoption, and the social factor has shown the most critical factor that impact on the solar panel adoption. As a conclusion, the social factor plays an important role in affecting the solar panel adoption, in which the perceptiveness of people in Malacca towards solar panel was easily being affected by others.
