Patagonia is testing 22 solar-panel windows at its California headquarters. The outdoor clothing retailer hopes the windows - which include a layer of transparent photovoltaic cells that turn sunlight into electricity - can eventually be assembled for homes and commercial buildings. The retailer was in the news earlier this year when its founder transferred Patagonia’s non-voting stock to a non-profit dedicated to climate causes.
Would Patagonia’s customers consider adopting solar for their homes and workspaces?
A majority of them would. According to YouGov Profiles - which covers demographic, psychographic, attitudinal and behavioral consumer metrics - three-quarters (76%) of Patagonia’s current consumers agree with the statement that they “would consider getting solar panels on (their) homes.” In comparison, 62% of the general US population agree with the statement.
Further, data from Profiles also shows that the 72% of the company’s current customers agree with the statement that they are “willing to pay more for sustainable energy.” This is substantially more than the 43% of the general US population that agrees with the statement.
