Abstract

With the increasing demand for sustainable technologies in educational institutions, solar-powered vending machines have emerged as a promising solution to meet this need. This study assesses the perceived quality and user acceptance of solar-powered vending machines at North Eastern Mindanao State University (NEMSU) in Bislig City, Philippines. The research focuses on two key dimensions of perceived quality: attribute quality (performance, features, aesthetics) and reliability quality (reliability, serviceability, perceived quality), and evaluates how these factors influence user acceptance, based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). A structured questionnaire was used to gather data from 200 participants, including students, faculty, and staff. The findings indicate that users generally have a positive perception of the vending machines, with high ratings for features and aesthetics, and satisfactory ratings for performance and reliability. Performance and aesthetics were identified as significant predictors of user acceptance, while serviceability emerged as the most important factor in reliability quality. The study concludes that solar-powered vending machines have strong potential for acceptance in educational settings. However, improvements in Wi-Fi stability and maintenance features could further enhance user satisfaction and long-term adoption. The results offer valuable insights for universities and policymakers seeking to implement sustainable technologies on their campuses.
