Fig. 2: Stylistic examples of three distributions of solar adopters across three Republican-led districts with different partisan gaps in adoption.
From: Assessing potential for policy feedback from renewable energy incentive programs
The cells in each district represent the district’s electorate, colored red and blue for Republicans and Democrats, respectively, and the sun symbols indicate solar PV adopters (and incentive beneficiaries) among the electorate. Note that each pattern has the same total volume of solar adopters. Pattern 1 has a partisan gap favoring Republican voters, Pattern 2 has no partisan gap, and Pattern 3 has a partisan gap favoring Democratic voters.
