Using TerraVolt Development as an example, the following work explores the conditions of acceptance of property owners in the first individual part and those of municipalities in the second, offering practical recommendations for the company’s strategic positioning based on empirical findings from qualitative interviews. Additionally, entrepreneurial frameworks are being applied to understand certain stakeholder behavioural patterns. The results validate a modular, co-creational strategy that also aligns with the economic, regulatory and socio political context. The conclusions highlight the need for transparency, trust and flexibility in building sustainable solar projects.engSolar energy developmentBusiness model validationCustomer developmentStakeholder engagementLandowner acceptanceMunicipal cooperationValidation of the value proposition for a solar energy project development startup: value proposition for landownersmaster thesis203990579
