In collaboration with Mohammad Alipour, a Ph.D. student in Sustainable Energy from Griffith University, we studied the household choices of purchasing solar panels and battery sizes, by formulating discrete choice models incorporating the latent psychological and belief variables. 

Two research papers have been published on this topic and the last research paper is under review.
