HIPP focuses its lens where household and personal choices, actions, and decisions may be particularly dynamic or influential factors in how energy systems are evolving. The HIPP Personal Power Lending Library launches at three U.S. project sites in spring 2015 under the \u201cPower Up\u201d slogan. The Lending Library facilitates access to renewable-energy-powered electronics and communication devices and investigation of the potential for mainstreaming such devices in the U.S. and, ultimately, globally. For instance, products that enable cell phones to be powered by portable solar or kinetic energy sources instead of wall outlets are rarely seen outside of niche markets for outdoor recreation enthusiasts, even though surveys indicate consumer preferences for such convenient and \u201cgreen\u201d options. This project systematically explores factors associated with the availability, uptake and scarcity of these sorts of products to isolate critical factors, deriving hypotheses about policy, market, R&amp;D, and educational advances in this arena. Beyond households, these investigations hold implications for wider energy system design, governance and performance.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"col-12 col-md-4 order-1 order-md-2 mb-6 mb-md-0\">\n\t\t\t\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group border has-gray-7-color has-white-background-color has-text-color has-background is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-64d510fb wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--uds-size-2);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--uds-size-2);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--uds-size-2);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--uds-size-2)\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Research navigation<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"#summary\">Summary<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"#funding\">Funding<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"#timeline\">Timeline<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n\t<div class=\"uds-button \">\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/globalfutures.asu.edu\/lightworks\/research\/\" class=\"btn  btn-maroon \" data-ga=\"More research\" data-ga-name=\"onclick\" data-ga-event=\"link\" data-ga-action=\"click\" data-ga-type=\"internal link\" data-ga-region=\"main content\" data-ga-section=\"button\"    >More research <\/a>\n\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-bootstrap-blocks-container container mb-2\">\n\t\n<div class=\"wp-bootstrap-blocks-row row\">\n\t\n\n<div class=\"col-12 col-md-8\">\n\t\t\t\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"funding\">Funding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/globalfutures.asu.edu\/lightworks\/\">LightWorks<\/a><\/p>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"col-12 col-md-4\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-bootstrap-blocks-container container mb-2\">\n\t\n<div class=\"wp-bootstrap-blocks-row row\">\n\t\n\n<div class=\"col-12 col-md-8\">\n\t\t\t\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"timeline\">Timeline<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>January 2015 \u2014 Ongoing<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"col-12 col-md-4\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"featured_media":391,"parent":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-387","project","type-project","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"uds_featured_image":{"id":391,"alt_text":"Sustainable Power Photo","caption":"","description":"","media_type":"image","media_details":{"width":1920,"height":642,"file":"2024\/01\/Sustainable-Power-Photo-e1706039954591.jpg","filesize":72235,"sizes":{"medium":{"file":"Sustainable-Power-Photo-e1706039954591-300x100.jpg","width":300,"height":100,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":6684,"source_url":"https:\/\/globalfutures.asu.edu\/lightworks\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2024\/01\/Sustainable-Power-Photo-e1706039954591-300x100.jpg"},"large":{"file":"Sustainable-Power-Photo-e1706039954591-1024x342.jpg","width":1024,"height":342,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":25254,"source_url":"https:\/\/globalfutures.asu.edu\/lightworks\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2024\/01\/Sustainable-Power-Photo-e1706039954591-1024x342.jpg"},"thumbnail":{"file":"Sustainable-Power-Photo-e1706039954591-150x150.jpg","width":150,"height":150,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":5380,"source_url":"https:\/\/globalfutures.asu.edu\/lightworks\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2024\/01\/Sustainable-Power-Photo-e1706039954591-150x150.jpg"},"medium_large":{"file":"Sustainable-Power-Photo-e1706039954591-768x257.jpg","width":768,"height":257,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":17376,"source_url":"https:\/\/globalfutures.asu.edu\/lightworks\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2024\/01\/Sustainable-Power-Photo-e1706039954591-768x257.jpg"},"1536x1536":{"file":"Sustainable-Power-Photo-e1706039954591-1536x514.jpg","width":1536,"height":514,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":47030,"source_url":"https:\/\/globalfutures.asu.edu\/lightworks\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2024\/01\/Sustainable-Power-Photo-e1706039954591-1536x514.jpg"}},"image_meta":{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0","keywords":[]}},"post":387,"source_url":"https:\/\/globalfutures.asu.edu\/lightworks\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2024\/01\/Sustainable-Power-Photo-e1706039954591.jpg"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
