Abstract

Given that the implementation of renewable technologies has some key bottlenecks in adoption, this topic has been explored. Particularly, we are reviewing existing theories and models to understand their fit for changing social structures and evolving world contexts. This review begins with an introduction followed by a background study on renewable energy technology (RET). We have employed a mixed-approach methodology to synthesize the relevant literature. The review comprises a summary and comparison of some existing theories and models such as TAM, TRA, and UTAUT, elucidating factors influencing technology adoption processes. Additionally, the review discusses the scope for future research, emphasizing the need for more nuanced frameworks that account for contextual intricacies and emerging trends in renewable energy adoption. Ultimately, the review concludes with insights into the ongoing discourse surrounding energy technology acceptance and recommendations on the inclusion of current world views in the scope for future study.
