    Brief

    Award Notice: This research project, awarded following a mini competition under the New Behavioural Insights Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS), seeks to test various low-interest loan offerings with homeowners for green home upgrades including solar panels and heat pumps. The research will generate behavioural evidence on how consumers respond to different loan features and designs, their likelihood of adopting these technologies, and the timeline for taking action. The study will also investigate homeowner attitudes and barriers towards plug-in solar solutions. This is a completed award notice, not an open call for competition.
