Which organisation conducted the study on rooftop solar adopters?
The Council on Energy, Environment and Water (CEEW) is an independent think tank that conducts research on energy and environment issues, including rooftop solar adoption.
How many rooftop solar adopters clean their panels at least once a month?
Two-thirds of rooftop solar adopters clean their panels at least once a month, indicating a moderate level of maintenance awareness.
What percentage of rooftop solar adopters monitor daily system performance?
Only half of rooftop solar adopters monitor daily system performance, highlighting a need for improved monitoring and maintenance practices.
Consider the following statements regarding Rooftop Solar Adopters' Maintenance Habits: 1. Two-thirds of rooftop solar adopters clean their panels at least once a week. 2. Only half of rooftop solar adopters monitor daily system performance. 3. The Council on Energy, Environment and Water (CEEW) is the primary body responsible for regulating rooftop solar installations. How many of the above statements are correct?
Statement 1 is false because the fact list states that two-thirds of rooftop solar adopters clean their panels at least once a month, not once a week. Statement 2 is true because the fact list states that only half of rooftop solar adopters monitor daily system performance. Statement 3 is false because the fact list states that the Council on Energy, Environment and Water (CEEW) conducted a study, but it does not imply that CEEW is the primary body responsible for regulating rooftop solar installations.
Consider the following two statements: Statement-I: Only half of rooftop solar adopters monitor daily system performance. Statement-II: This is because most rooftop solar adopters do not have the necessary technical expertise to monitor their systems. Which one of the following is correct in respect of the above statements?
Statement 1 is true because the fact list states that only half of rooftop solar adopters monitor daily system performance. Statement 2 is false because the fact list does not provide any information about the technical expertise of rooftop solar adopters. Statement 2 does not explain why only half of rooftop solar adopters monitor daily system performance.
