In economic terms, the barriers to investment are related to low levels of profitability and difficulties in accessing financing in some European regions. These barriers must be overcome to foster a sustainable energy transition. However, this topic of analysis is still underexplored in the literature to date. This study provides a characterisation of the financial resources applied to self-consumption from an economic–financial approach to the decision-making investors in a case study in Spain from a novel focus on the subject. The relevance of alternative financial resources as a mechanism to reduce existing barriers is revealed through the analysis of the active role that installers play in making investment decisions, facilitating the growth of self-consumption. The alternative financial channels and the bank intermediation for renewables are topics of interest to promote the energy transition towards a low-carbon economy. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/S33-20R info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/T46-20R info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 3.889 2021 ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES 57 / 128 = 0.445 2021 Q2 T2 ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES 133 / 279 = 0.477 2021 Q2 T2 GREEN & SUSTAINABLE SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY 35 / 47 = 0.745 2021 Q3 T3 GREEN & SUSTAINABLE SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY 7 / 9 = 0.778 2021 Q4 T3 0.664 2021 Energy Engineering and Power Technology 2021 Q1 Renewable Energy, Sustainability and the Environment 2021 Q1 Management, Monitoring, Policy and Law 2021 Q1 Geography, Planning and Development 2021 Q1 5.0 2021 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Gimeno, José Ángel Portillo-Tarragona, Pilar Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-7105-4618 Llera-Sastresa, Eva Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-6103-7136 5004 590 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
