The next factors considered by respondents before using a particular energy source were compatibility with existing equipment (45.2%), ease of use (36.1%), quality (29.6%), and environmental impact (29.1%).
This survey also found that 50.3% of respondents were willing to pay more for renewable energy.
Of those willing to pay more, 55.9% said they wanted to contribute to the continued development of renewable energy sources, and 50.3% said it was because renewable energy does not harm the environment.
