Abstract
The subject matter addressed in the paper concerns digital technology platforms in the context of renewable energy sources. The main goal is to check whether digital technology platforms can be effective factors in implementing innovative business models in the RES sector. The study was based on empirical research using Computer-Assisted Telephone Interview (CATI) and Computer-Assisted Web Interview (CAWI) methods, as well as on a model of attitudes towards digital technology platforms (DTPs) built using CATREG (categorical regression) analysis. As a result of the research, it was found that digital technology platforms contribute to building innovative business models. The decisive influence on this is a number of benefits for enterprises and consumers (and the related factor is the most important when it comes to attitudes towards DTP), as well as the high interest in digital RES platforms.
Highlights
The research on digital technology platforms (DTPs) that will be discussed in this paper was carried out in a broad context
It is worth mentioning that the above-mentioned RES platform, which will enable intermediation between contractors installing RES systems and persons willing to purchase such systems, should be considered both a DTP-based solution and an innovative and digital business model
It is worth noting that currently, there are a number of platforms which are already used on the energy market in relation to RES and successfully operate on the basis of a DTP
Summary
The research on digital technology platforms (DTPs) that will be discussed in this paper was carried out in a broad context. It concerns broadly understood digitisation or digitalisation, which was already discussed in the early 1970s by R. The subject discussed is related to innovation, the expression of which is the functioning and constant intensive development of many DTPs, considered one of the most important types of digital innovation [3,4,5,6]. Various RES (renewable energy sources) platforms feature innovation qualities. This part of the paper addresses basic theoretical issues related to the mentioned aspects
