BRAVO HIDALGO, Debrayan  y  MONTEAGUDO YANES, José Pedro. Models of diffusion of renewable energy technologies. Energética [online]. 2019, vol.40, n.1, pp.30-41. ISSN 1815-5901.

The paper deals with the use of diffusion models, a useful tool to understand the development of technologies. The diffusion of technologies does not follow a unique pattern, it is complex and the challenge is in developing models for Renewable Energy Technologies TER.TERs have enormous potential to meet global demand for electric power, but the initial cost and lack of financial support is a barrier to their diffusion. They are influential factors in the diffusion, the technological characteristics, micro-environmental, the role of the government, types of users and the structure of the market. It was evidenced that the lack of success does not imply the inadequacy of the technology. The technological ignorance of those who formulate the policies and the insufficient capacity of entrepreneurs to justify the support of the government, are a brake to the development and the diffusion of the TERs. This is accentuated in Third World nations.
