Abstract
It turns out that the installed capacity (and generated supply) from small-scale installations clearly varies among German counties. Based on econometric analysis, this can partly be explained by differences in solar radiation. However, other factors, such as house density, homeownership, per-capita income and neighborhood effects seem to be equally or even more important. In contrast, households' ecological attitude hardly affects the investment decisions.
