摘要: This paper aims to identify the success factors, incentives, barriers and challenges in adoption process of photovoltaics (PV) agricultural sector, with particular focus placed on decision making individual farmers network effects. We investigated a successful case an Austrian farmers' association that set up community power plant concept society for facilitating PV among farmers. found decisions are driven by economic environmental considerations while ethical relatively strong farmers, they cannot be used as predictors process. Results furthermore suggest increases belief technological progress solution problems, it may simultaneously lead weakening underlying lifestyle changes necessary. Our conclusions address crucial aspects agriculture, implications policy measures related respective initiatives.
