| Abstract: | This research investigates the adoption of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems in Indonesia within the framework of the RPVSS policy. Addressing the energy trilemma of security, affordability, and sustainability, the study assesses key factors influencing adoption. Affordability emerges as a challenge due to high upfront costs and limited energy storage. Expert interviews reveal political and technical concerns regarding grid stability and intermittency. Environmental sustainability is compromised by inadequate solar waste treatment facilities. Public perception reflects positive views on usefulness and ease of use, yet concerns persist about affordability and environmental awareness. Recommendations for policymakers include subsidies, collaboration with property developers, simplifying adoption processes, launching comprehensive awareness campaigns, and establishing waste treatment facilities. The study underscores the relevance of the Technological Acceptance Model (TAM) to enhance solar PV adoption through better affordability, convenience, environmental awareness, and technical understanding. While insights are drawn from Jakarta, future studies could extend findings to broader urban contexts. This research offers a comprehensive analysis of solar PV adoption challenges, public perceptions, and actionable policy recommendations for sustainable energy transition in Indonesia. |
