Abstract: Solar energy has grown at an average yearly pace of 33% just in the last ten years. More than 121 gigawatts of solar capacity have been built nationally. To build strategies for sustainable practices and to increase the substitution of non-renewable resources with sustainable alternatives like solar, it is necessary to understand the elements impacting customers' perceptions of quality. However, information on the use of solar renewable energy products is still lacking. The objective of this project is to address this gap by conducting a systematic evaluation of peer-reviewed papers published in ABDC-indexed journals between 2012 and 2022 using the 'scientific procedures and rationales for systematic literature reviews' (SPAR4-SLR) protocol. The data show that government initiative, education and awareness, and fossil fuel divestment are the essential enablers towards generating the relationship between major antecedents and consequences, while demographic factors and attitudes are the main mediators to reinforce the association.

Keywords: solar renewable energy product; SREP; scientific procedures and rationales for systematic literature reviews; SPAR 4-SLR; sustainability orientation; government initiative; fossil-fuel divestment.
