Abstract

According to Wüstenhagen et al. (Energy Policy 35:2683–2691, 2007), acceptance of novel energy technologies is defined in terms of perceptions of stakeholders involved in energy projects. Sauter and Watson (Energy Policy 35:2770–2779, 2007) state that acceptance varies from passive approval with novel technologies to more active approval as for example by promoting a technology. The adoption of new technologies is defined as the action of purchasing and using a technology (Broman Toft et al. in Appl. Energy 134:392–400, 2014), which can be measured through market share. Additionally, multiple studies include behavior towards energy technologies in their definition of acceptance. Therefore, many studies focused on different drivers, which have a strong effect on the acceptance of technologies, especially related to the subjects of technology, innovation management, and social psychology.
