Microgeneration technologies are considered innovative technologies that may considerably contribute to boosting renewable energy consumption in the household sector. Adoption of such technologies by households has been recently studied from diverse scientific perspectives.
Studies have focused on different aspects that influence the adoption itself and identified economic, technological, institutional, social or environmental factors that influence the decision of a household to install such technology. A comprehensive overview and classification of currently identified factors through empirical studies is however missing.
The aim of this review is thus to stratify the driving forces and barriers identified in the current literature and classify them according to their nature and effect on microgeneration technology adoption.
