Abstract: This paper reviews the available literature dealing with the barriers to the dissemination of decentralized renewable energy systems. Decentralized renewable energy systems may face a range of technical, economic, institutional, socio-cultural and environmental barrier to their dissemination. In the paper, barriers impeding the dissemination of decentralized renewable energy systems have been identified and assessed. In addition, appropriate remedial measures and corresponding responsibility centers as reported in the literature have also been discussed.
