The result of the research could be used not only for promoting the adoption of renewable energy technologies, but also for providing insights to government institution. This study interviews 273 persons to comprehend their attitude and behavior about renewable energy technologies. These results reinforce some of the past findings of technology diffusion, renewable energy implementation, and partner relationship literatures.
