The current study identifies the key stakeholders who are of value to the transition of solar energy storage (SES) using a stakeholder analysis framework. The various stakeholders involved are identified and prioritised, enabling them to be grouped according to their significance, focusing on the adoption of SES and the level of interest or engagement in the residential solar and SES market based on a case study of Australia. The designated key stakeholders and their groups include market participants such as manufacturers, suppliers, retailers, and installers; participants from Australia’s electricity network, utilities, and electricity retailers; state and federal government agencies and organisations; and the eventual consumers. Semi-structured interviews were conducted among 20 participants to identify the key stakeholders and their involvement in the transition. The study highlights the need for the stakeholders to share common goals and share collective responsibility for an effective transition towards SES. The study provides valuable insights into the complex landscape of SES adoption in Australia. The study indicates that despite the evident benefits, the adoption of solar and storage systems remains a challenging process, necessitating active participation from stakeholders across different sectors, such as industry, policymakers, local communities, and consumers. It underscores the interconnectedness of various stakeholder groups and the importance of their collaboration in achieving a sustainable energy future. This study aligns with United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 7, 9, 12, and 13.

摘要

The current study identifies the key stakeholders who are of value to the transition of solar energy storage (SES) using a stakeholder analysis framework. The various stakeholders involved are identified and prioritised, enabling them to be grouped according to their significance, focusing on the adoption of SES and the level of interest or engagement in the residential solar and SES market based on a case study of Australia. The designated key stakeholders and their groups include market participants such as manufacturers, suppliers, retailers, and installers; participants from Australia’s electricity network, utilities, and electricity retailers; state and federal government agencies and organisations; and the eventual consumers. Semi-structured interviews were conducted among 20 participants to identify the key stakeholders and their involvement in the transition. The study highlights the need for the stakeholders to share common goals and share collective responsibility for an effective transition towards SES. The study provides valuable insights into the complex landscape of SES adoption in Australia. The study indicates that despite the evident benefits, the adoption of solar and storage systems remains a challenging process, necessitating active participation from stakeholders across different sectors, such as industry, policymakers, local communities, and consumers. It underscores the interconnectedness of various stakeholder groups and the importance of their collaboration in achieving a sustainable energy future. This study aligns with United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 7, 9, 12, and 13.
