Solar photovoltaics (PV) is a renewable energy technology that converts solar irradiation into electricity. PV is technically mature and has a huge potential to offset fossil fuel generated electricity worldwide. PV is currently reaching cost-competitiveness in an increasing number of regions around the world, not least in residential (rooftop) applications, where it allows homeowners to produce their own electricity. Residential PV does, however, face various barriers within the sociotechnical system in which it is to be deployed. This thesis investigates barriers and drivers to PV deployment in different geographical contexts, thus providing knowledge on how to facilitate a sustainability transition in the electricity sector.
