Network Structure Matters: How Coordination and Cooperation Mechanisms Drive Solar-Battery Co-adoption

This dataset provides replication materials for the paper "Network Structure Matters: How Coordination and Cooperation Mechanisms Drive Solar-Battery Co-adoption" published in Environmental Research Letters. The study examines how renewable energy governance network structures influence residential solar-battery co-adoption across eight U.S. states (Arizona, California, Connecticut, Florida, Minnesota, Oregon, Pennsylvania, and Texas) from 1998–2018. Using hyperlink network analysis to measure coordination (degree centrality) and cooperation (clustering coefficients) among renewable energy stakeholders, we find that networks with higher levels of both mechanisms are significantly associated with higher co-adoption rates.
