Characterizing the Danish energy prosumer
Lower costs and stop-go policy around 2012 created two distinct groups of households with solar photovoltaics (PVs) in Denmark – a large group of early adopters (annually metered), and a smaller group of later adopters (hourly/real-time metered). This paper analyses these groups to characterize Danish PVs prosumer households and identify why they bought PVs. A comparison of a full population of 73,974 Danish household PVs owners (registered as of…
Household Appliances and Electronics
Household appliances and electronics have massive environmental implications caused by the consumption of energy and scarce materials and the release of hazardous chemicals related to production, use, and disposal as well as social issues related to working conditions and the north-south division in production and waste handling. Still, political consumerism is quite absent from this field. Public policy measures within this area include energy l…

(Re)introducing embodied practical understanding to the sociology of sustainable consumption
In this article, we argue that the sociology of sustainable consumption has had a strong focus on practical understandings embedded in material entities and thereby also on the role of the material for the reproduction and change of sustainable consumption practices. Consequently, the role of social relations and practical understandings embodied in humans has been downplayed. We give two possible explanations to this rather one-sided focus; firs…
Social bases of material consumption
In this article, possession of household appliances in Denmark is used to address the role of social groups in reproducing social norms of material consumption practices. This has been down-played in studies engaging with the 'practice turn', especially within the sociology of sustainable consumption. Using latent class analysis, four distinct latent subgroups with similar patterns of material consumption are identified and analysed. On the basis…
