The researchers proposed a hybrid framework that combines large language models (LLMs) with calibrated Irish dairy farm solar photovoltaic adoption agents (ABMs). This framework enhances the original technical and economic adoption mechanisms through bounded behavioral norms and structured scenario norms. Experimental results show that this method produces stable and economically reasonable behaviors under various policy settings, keeping photovoltaic adoption results within bounded and monotonic ranges. Compared with the corresponding logistic case, using LLM-assisted norms resulted in a maximum increase in dairy farm solar photovoltaic adoption rate of approximately 13%, without producing unstable or false saturation dynamics. The study confirms that LLM-assisted norms can be controlled, reproducible, and integrated into the calibrated energy ABM in a policy-relevant manner.
