Electricity consumption changes following solar adoption: Testing for a solar rebound
利用家庭层面数据，发现安装太阳能板后家庭总用电量增加，反弹效应约为28.5%，即近三分之一的太阳能发电被用于额外能源服务而非减少电网用电。
Abstract We use household‐level data to explore residential electricity use patterns following installation of solar panels. Solar adoption leads to an increase in total electricity consumption relative to a matched non‐adopting control group. Our point estimate translates to a rebound effect of 28.5%, suggesting that nearly a third of the electricity produced by a customer's solar panels is used for increased energy services, rather than reduced grid electricity consumption. We explore several potential drivers of an increase in electricity consumption. These results have important implications for electricity planning and policy, suggesting that rooftop solar stimulates additional demand for electricity.
