摘要

En 中文
This study seeks to understand the difference in solar-panel adoption across country-of-birth groups in Australia. Households with a respondent born in Australia, New Zealand, or North-West Europe are more likely to own their home and to have solar panels than households with respondents born elsewhere. The solar-uptake dif-ference is substantial at around five percentage points, based on the 2019-20 Survey of Income and Housing. Renting status accounts for around 35% of the explained solar-uptake difference across country-of-birth groups using the 2019-20 survey and higher proportions using earlier surveys. Results are robust to inclusion of vari-ables for key influences on solar adoption, such as wealth. Detailed location variables account for further dif-ferences in solar adoption that are not captured by other controls. The key implication is that policy to promote solar-panel adoption on rental housing could also make a major contribution toward improving equality of solar-panel adoption for country-of-birth groups. The decomposition approach in this paper could be useful for future studies which can suggest policies to reduce inequality in other contexts.
