We focused here on a bottom-up initiative of citizen-funded and citizen-operated photovoltaic power plants. The project follows a case study-based approach and examines two different community initiatives. The aim is to investigate the potential incentives and barriers relating to participation or non-participation in predefined community PV projects. Qualitative, as well as quantitative empirical research was used to examine the key factors in the further development of bottom-up initiatives as contributors to a general energy transition %K Photovoltaic adoption %K PV diffusion %K Community power plants %K Community renewables %K Renewable energy cooperatives %K Citizen engagement %U https://hrcak.srce.hr/index.php?show=clanak&id_clanak_jezik=182060
