There is a global trend towards adopting green energy, with solar energy being the primary source derived from solar panel technologies. Solar panels can generate enough power for general and household use. However, to effectively function and serve their purpose, they require regular cleaning and effective maintenance, and robotic cleaning is among the current applicable technologies. This research aims to determine the intention of using solar panel cleaning robots in Thailand for individual solar panel users. The study was hinged on the extended C-TAM-TPB model. The quantitative survey study design was employed using primary data collected from individual solar panel users in their households. 419 respondents were used to collect the data. The C-TAM-TPB model proposed using reliability, validity, and model fitness which employed confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). They adopted structural equation modeling (SEM) in the evaluation of the variables' relationships and study hypotheses. Subjective norms and trust in technology, individual control perception, and awareness of renewable energy significantly and positively affected behavioral intention to use solar panel cleaning robots as indicated by the study. Trust in technology, awareness of renewable energy, and environmental concerns were found to be pivotal mediators to the attitude effect on individual users' intention to act in using solar panel cleaning robots. The authors recommend that to improve the adoption of solar panel cleaning robots; the concerned stakeholders should consider, firstly, enhancing trust in the technology of these robots, which is crucial, focusing on aspects like reliability, privacy, security, and reputation. Secondly, considering the influence of subjective norms, including perceptions from family, friends, colleagues, and experts, is essential. Perceived behavioral control should also be a focal point, encompassing self-efficacy, resources, and complexity. Moreover, increasing awareness of renewable energy and environmental benefits is vital to encourage individual adoption. The research also recommended that to encourage the adoption and use of solar panel cleaning robots, the aspects that should be emphasized include subjective norm, perceived behavior control, trust in technology, and awareness of renewable energy.

There is increased adoption of renewable energy, particularly photovoltaic (PV), as a major source of clean and environmentally friendly energy. With the wide application of PV technologies, commonly called solar panels, their appropriate maintenance and cleaning are vital for optimum PV energy generation. The research focuses on exploring the various factors attributed to influence the want, intention and need to use PV panel cleaning robots in Thailand from an institutional management perspective. The study adopted the extended C-TAM-TPB by adding three more variables - Trust in technology, awareness of renewable energy, and environmental concern. A quantitative approach was used, where primary data was collected from PV institutional users. A population sample of 411 respondents was used. The confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) came in handy in evaluating the performance model, with the study's hypotheses being evaluated by the structural equation modeling (SEM). Results indicated that most of the subjective behaviors, perceived behavioral controls, and trust in technology played a key role in determining the intention and need to use solar panel cleaning robots. Perceived usefulness was found to have significant influence towards PV panel adoption. The influence of attitude was mediated by several factors – environmental concern, renewable energy awareness, trust in technology. The study recommended that the institutional users of solar panels should consider investing in knowledge regarding perceived behavioral control, developing confidence in the use of renewable and sustainable energy, and developing trust of the renewable and sustainable energy technologies. This could be achieved through programs such as public awareness, sharing accurate information regarding solar panel cleaning robots, and providing support and after sales support. Educational initiatives to change users' attitudes toward renewable energy technologies were recommended.

This study investigated the continuous intention to use digital payment solutions in online transactions to mitigate the spread of the COVID-19 virus. Primary data was collected from individuals using digital payment systems in Bangkok, Thailand using a structured questionnaire from a total of 400 respondents. The study adopted the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). Data were analyzed using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) in AMOS 26. The results revealed that factors that significantly affected continuous intention to use digital payments were perceived ease of use, satisfaction, attitude, and social distancing. Satisfaction mediated the effects of perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and social distancing on continuous intention to use. Attitude mediated the effect of perceived usefulness on continuous intention to use. The study recommends that concerned policymakers and institutions should consider users’ satisfaction, social distancing, and perceived ease of use when developing digital payment systems.
