Exploring the Role of Business Models in Large-Scale Diffusion of Solar Photovoltaics - A study of demand-side solar firms in Sweden
Licentiatavhandling, 2022
This licentiate thesis takes a qualitative approach to explore business models’ role in large-scale diffusion of solar PV. Based on a literature review and a case study of firms involved with solar PV deployment in Sweden, the thesis identifies six types of solar business models that are differentiated based on value proposition, value creation and delivery system, and value capture. The results also show that the prevalence of business models is influenced by firm-internal factors (e.g., resources, partnerships, and strategies) and contextual factors (e.g., technology and institutions). These findings stress the importance of considering both an actor- and system perspective on business models in policy design.
