摘要

Energy plays a crucial role in developing underprivileged and rural areas. Lack of energy is often linked to low educational levels, poor living conditions, and low economic and social progress. This research investigates the factors influencing the adoption of solar PV water pumps to enhance irrigation systems for farmers in rural Angola. Using a mixed sampling approach that combined simple probability and convenience non-probability methods, the study analyzed the gathered data from 354 respondents. Data analysis was conducted using IBM-SPSS 26 and Smart-PLS4. The results revealed that perceived cost, perceived ease of use, perceived risk, perceived usefulness, and government policy and rumors significantly influence farmers’ behavior toward purchasing solar PV water pump systems. Additionally, the farmers’ intention to adopt solar PV water pumps was found to mediate the relationship between the dependent and independent variables. The findings support all proposed hypotheses, contributing to understanding technology adoption in rural agricultural settings.
