Abstract
Abstract This thesis investigates the factors influencing SMEs in Drenthe to adopt solar panels. Integrating narrative analysis of interviews with SME representatives, the study assesses the impact of socio-economic, regulatory, and behavioural factors on solar energy adoption. Key findings include SME motivations like financial subsidies, climate awareness, and energy self-sufficiency, aligning with Rational Choice Theory, Green Business Theory, and the Self-Sufficiency Model. Barriers include knowledge gaps and financial constraints. These insights inform regional and broader EU policy directives for sustainable development, offering a nuanced understanding of SMEs' decision-making in solar energy adoption.
